2011 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · PY61 EPD

The 2011 Citroen C1 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-29 assessment at 87,455 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since November 2025, and as of 2026-07-17, this represents an 8-month gap, which may signal a lack of recent compliance. The mileage of 87,455 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 5,830 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests the vehicle may have been lightly used or stored for extended periods, increasing risks of component degradation from inactivity. Notably, the 2021-12-06 test at 52,062 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent 2022-11-21 test at 62,699 miles recorded a 10,637-mile increase, followed by a 10,188-mile rise by 2023-11-29. These gaps align with annual MOT intervals but do not reveal wear trends. A buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity-related issues, such as corrosion in the underbody, stiffness in suspension components like coil springs or suspension bushes, and potential battery or electrical faults. While the MOT history lacks advisories, the low mileage and extended storage periods imply risks to rubber seals, hoses, and fluid systems. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise these areas to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
