2017 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · NJ17 HTE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record. The most recent test conducted on 19 March 2026 at 29,922 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet follows five consecutive annual passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of operational readiness without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 3,325 miles per annum. Between March 2022 (16,382 miles) and March 2026 (29,922 miles), the car covered only 13,540 miles. This low-frequency usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or kept, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such patterns can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. While the MOT history shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage standing rather than high-wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for dry rot and flat spots, as low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the brake pads from cleaning the rotor surface effectively. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes and exhaust mounts for cracking to ensure the age of the materials has not compromised their structural integrity despite the low mileage.
