2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · PE11 BYN

The 2011 Citroen C1 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 confirming a pass at 112,269 miles. However, the same date records a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or a retest after minor corrections. No critical issues were flagged in the 2025 or 2024 tests, which also passed without defects. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical failures, but the lack of recorded defects in multiple tests raises questions about the thoroughness of inspections. The mileage of 112,269 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,485 miles, consistent with typical 15-year-old vehicles. The 2024 test at 94,734 miles and 2025 test at 107,476 miles indicate gradual, steady accumulation without significant gaps. This pattern suggests regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The absence of mileage spikes or anomalies implies predictable wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, though no specific issues were documented. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over 15 years of use. The rear brakes, which showed no recorded faults, may still require checking for uneven wear or caliper binding. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as minor failures in older vehicles can sometimes go unrecorded. While the MOT history appears clean, the repeated pass/fail entries on 2026-01-05 warrant further scrutiny to confirm the vehicle’s compliance with safety standards.
