2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SB61 WDU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of consistent clean passes. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 42,149 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating the car is currently in a sound mechanical condition. While a failure occurred earlier in October 2023, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly, maintaining a high level of operational standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 6,956 miles, moving from 35,193 to 42,149 miles. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average-run examples, though infrequent use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces due to moisture ingress over time rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage storage issues. Despite the clean MOT history, the tester must check for perished suspension bushes, split cracks, and tyre sidewall rot which occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Given the age of the Citroen, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion at the sills remains essential, as the MOT record does not predict future rust. The brake discs should also be examined for heavy pitting that results from inactivity.
