2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · PJ09 BWC

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 May 2025 at 137,321 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the previous issues have been addressed. This clean pass follows a pattern of immediate rectification in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to ensure the vehicle remains legal. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 137,321 miles averages approximately 8,078 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns for a city car of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with 7,899 miles covered between the May 2023 and May 2024 tests, and another 4,624 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent seals drying and mechanical components seizing. While the recent history is clean, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate a history of components reaching the end of their service life. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear suspension mounting, which are common failure points for this model. Given the age, checking the state of the suspension bushes and coil springs is vital, as these components are the most likely candidates for causing the defects seen in the previous test cycles.
