2017 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · RF17 HGY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection on 19 May 2026 at 31,208 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous minor issues have been addressed. This reflects a clean status as of the current date, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have met minimum DVSA standards over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,468 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 28,432 miles and May 2026 at 31,208 miles, the car covered only 2,776 miles annually. This low usage suggests light mechanical strain and minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, it also increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading due to age rather than use. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, as the 2023 and 2024 tests specifically flagged the rear tyres for cracking and perishing. Despite the low mileage, the rubber has likely aged beyond its optimal life regardless of tread depth. An in-person inspection should also verify the state of the brake discs and suspension bushes, as low-mile vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from surface corrosion or seized components. Checking for structural rust on the chassis is also advisable to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental damage.
