2010 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · MV10 THN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 13 August 2025 at 132,810 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing mechanical requirements before they reach failure status, which for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 94,960 miles and August 2025 at 132,810 miles, the car covered 37,850 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than erratic bursts or long periods of stagnation that often lead to dry rot or seized components. The interval of roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles between annual tests confirms the vehicle has been used regularly and maintained at standard service intervals. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common wear points for the Toyota-derived C1 platform. Given the mileage exceeds 130,000 miles, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade at this stage. You should also examine the brake discs for heavy pitting or thinning and check for binding calipers, as the MOT only tests for functionality rather than overall surface condition. A final visual check of the underside sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure no structural corrosion has developed since the last DVSA inspection.
