2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · NG09 LDD

This Citroën C1 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 8 April 2026 confirming no defects at 48,163 miles . The absence of advisories or failures across all recorded tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear. The pattern of annual testing—without failings—implies either diligent servicing or deferred maintenance that has yet to manifest in testable faults. However, the duplicate entry for 8 April 2024 (one pass, one fail) is anomalous and may indicate a data error or oversight, warranting verification of the vehicle’s actual service history. The recorded mileage of 48,163 miles over 17 years —approximately 2,833 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting prolonged periods of disuse or storage. There are no gaps in MOT testing beyond the standard three-year interval, but the steady accumulation of just 322 miles between tests (e.g., from 46,833 to 47,235 ) raises suspicion of odometer manipulation or a vehicle that has not been driven regularly. Such low mileage often correlates with deferred maintenance, as owners may neglect routine checks when a car sits unused. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , as these are common failure points in older Citroën models. The brake system —especially rear calipers and discs—should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding, despite no recorded failures. Corrosion in the subframe, wheel arches, and sills is a high-risk area for this age of vehicle, particularly if the car has been stored in damp conditions. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions controls should be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are often overlooked until they fail an MOT. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
