2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · NJ16 OSL

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy following the August 2025 test at 76,092 miles, where the DVSA system logged a failed entry and a passed entry on the same date with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. Every test from January 2022 through August 2025 returned a pass with no advisories or faults, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each examination and the car carried no outstanding mechanical flags. Mileage sat at 52,583 in January 2022 and rose to 64,853 by January 2023, then 73,292 in July 2024 and 76,092 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,600 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a 2016 car. A notable gap exists between the January 2023 and July 2024 tests, a delay of roughly eighteen months against the standard twelve-month cycle, though the July 2024 pass at 73,292 miles shows the vehicle was not heavily run in the interim. The record is sparse but clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues ever raised. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is now ten years old. The MOT history never flagged coil springs, binding calipers, or worn tyres, yet consumable items such as wiper blades and tread depth fall outside the test unless defective. The same-day fail and pass in August 2025 with no defects suggests an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, but the V5C and test certificate should be checked to confirm.
