2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SB64 AEG

The 2014 Citroën C1 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across all four recorded tests, with no defects or advisories noted in the most recent inspection on 2024-11-09 at 51,971 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any major mechanical or structural failures during the testing periods. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT history implies that previous owners have likely addressed basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs outside the scope of the test. The recorded mileage of 51,971 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 4,331 miles annually—indicates light usage, which may reduce wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain parts. The intervals between tests are standard, with no unusually large gaps or rapid mileage spikes, though the 2021-2022 period shows a slight slowdown in accumulation (43,945 to 45,963 miles in 14 months). This pattern could reflect periods of inactivity, which may have allowed minor corrosion or fluid degradation to develop undetected. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, including rear calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as low mileage does not guarantee rust absence. Finally, fluid levels—brake, power steering, and engine oil—should be verified, as prolonged inactivity can lead to degradation or contamination.
