2006 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SB56 GXY

The Citroen C1 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. The September 2025 examination at 107,701 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the underlying maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared the July 2023 test at 103,790 miles and the June 2024 test at 106,567 miles without advisories, showing no worsening mechanical condition over the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 107,701 against a 2006 build, equating to roughly 5,385 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 103,790 in July 2023, 106,567 by June 2024, and 107,701 in September 2025. This low annual use implies lighter mechanical loading, though the two same-day fail-then-pass pairs in June 2024 and September 2025 at identical mileages suggest administrative re-tests rather than fresh faults, with no defects logged on any occasion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's twenty-year age. The MOT record flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns, but long standing periods implied by low mileage can conceal perished rubber components and seized calipers not caught in a pass-only test. Verify the V5C and confirm the September 2025 pass reflects a genuine roadworthy state rather than a paperwork correction. With no advisories across three years, prior owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, yet a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewall condition and underbody rust remains prudent on a 2006 hatchback.
