2014 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SL14 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent 2026-01-16 MOT at 102,800 miles recording no defects. However, a failed test on 2025-01-21 at 99,103 miles—just one day prior to a subsequent pass at 99,105 miles—raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. The absence of recorded defects in all tests suggests no critical mechanical or structural issues, but the abrupt failure and immediate pass indicate potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring faults or escalating risks. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging approximately 8,567 miles per year since 2014. The 2024-01-09 test at 86,464 miles and 2023-01-16 test at 72,685 miles align with this pattern, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. The 2025-01-21 failure occurred during a period of normal usage, but the lack of defect details prevents a deeper analysis of underlying causes. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no advisories or repeated failures, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points in older models. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity is likely intact, but a thorough underbody inspection for rust or damage is recommended. The absence of recorded issues in MOTs does not eliminate the need for hands-on verification, as some faults may not trigger immediate failures.
