2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · MX16 VLZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 January 2026 at 73,427 miles recorded no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend over the last five years. This suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided the common mechanical and structural failures typically flagged during annual inspections for this engine model. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 52,090 miles and January 2026 at 73,427 miles, the car covered 21,337 miles, indicating a steady usage profile rather than extreme stress or long periods of neglect. This low annual mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and auxiliary engine components, such as the clutch and alternator, which have likely faced less wear-and-tear compared to high-mileage city cars. Since the record shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, corrosion, or braking, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear appropriate for the age and mileage. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as the MOT does not test these until they reach a legal failure limit. Given the clean history, the primary concern remains checking for any emerging surface rust on the sills or wheel arches to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
