2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · PN59 AEB

The 2009 Citroen C1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 at 91,124 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior two annual tests in 2024 and 2023 similarly showed no failures, despite a failed test on 2024-12-11 at identical mileage (90,127 miles) with no recorded issues. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical degradation, though the lack of defect details for failed tests limits definitive analysis. The absence of recurring faults in the last three years implies consistent maintenance, though the low mileage of 5,360 annually for its age raises questions about long-term component wear. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows minimal variation, with 88,807 miles in 2023 rising to 91,124 by 2025—a total of 2,317 miles over two years. This aligns with the 5,360-mile annual average, indicating light usage but also potential risks from prolonged inactivity, such as corrosion or seized suspension components. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess minor issues like tyre tread or brake pad wear. However, the consistent passing of tests suggests no critical failures, though the 2024-12-11 failure without recorded defects warrants scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to uneven wear. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT records show no major issues, the lack of defect details for failed tests means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of critical systems. The vehicle’s maintenance history reflects compliance but offers limited insight into its mechanical health beyond surface-level checks.
