2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · ML12 YKM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 7 April 2026 at 27,399 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results dating back to 2022 indicates that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of mechanical care without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 22,940 miles and April 2026 at 27,399 miles, the car covered only 4,459 miles. This consistent low usage suggests short-distance trips, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such low mileage often carries risks associated with stationary vehicles, such as degraded rubber-based components. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues common to low-mileage cars. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as the rubber can perish over time regardless of tread depth. The brakes should be examined for corrosion or pitting on the discs, as infrequent use prevents the surfaces from staying clean. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as the age of the materials can lead to fatigue even when the vehicle is driven infrequently.
