2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SV62 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history, having passed its most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 38,606 miles. While the car has passed consistently, a recurring advisory regarding a slightly distorted nearside rear road wheel has persisted for three consecutive years, appearing in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 inspections. This suggests a minor, non-critical wheel deformity that has not progressed into a failure, though it indicates a history of impact or uneven wear on that specific corner. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 2,758 miles per year. The records show a very gradual increase from 9,633 miles in October 2015 to the current 38,606 miles. This low-use pattern often correlates with fewer mechanical stresses on the drivetrain, but the lack of frequent driving can sometimes lead to issues with seals or battery health. The data shows a consistent annual testing pattern, which demonstrates a regular approach to compliance. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and glass components during a physical inspection. The 2022 failure at 30,665 miles highlighted worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes, alongside a faulty windscreen wiper, which required rectification to pass. Although these specific items were resolved, the recurring windscreen damage noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have been subject to stone chips or minor impacts. The 2021 test at 27,424 miles flagged thinning front brake pads and pitted front brake discs. While these are standard consumable wear items, the buyer should verify that the current braking system feels responsive and that the discs do not show signs of heavy corrosion or uneven thickness. Given the low mileage, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components caused by long periods of inactivity would be a prudent step.
