2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · PL16 ACZ

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 35,196 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent string of successful inspections dating back to 2019, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard with no recurring mechanical or structural issues identified by the tester. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,520 miles per year. The record shows a significant jump in usage between the April 2024 test at 23,304 miles and the May 2025 test at 31,373 miles, representing nearly 8,000 miles in a single year. Before this period, the vehicle covered much smaller increments, such as the 1,953 miles recorded between May 2021 and May 2022. This pattern of low annual mileage often indicates light urban use or extended periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the low usage pattern warrants a physical inspection of components that can degrade through lack of movement. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the tyres for age-related perishing or flat spots, and check the battery health given the infrequent driving intervals. The single failure in May 2022 regarding an ineffective windscreen wiper was a minor consumable issue that was resolved immediately, as evidenced by the subsequent pass. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion, the mechanical history appears excellent. However, since low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized calipers or dried seals due to inactivity, a thorough check of the braking system and fluid levels is recommended during a physical inspection. The absence of any structural or exhaust emissions issues across ten years of testing provides a strong indication of the vehicle's overall integrity.
