2012 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · SW61 HWE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 100,386 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully met minimum standards following previous test failures. While the record shows initial failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests these issues were likely minor items or consumable items that were rectified immediately rather than deep-seated mechanical or structural failures. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,386 miles represents an average of approximately 7,170 miles per year. This usage aligns with typical low-mile patterns for a small city car. The data shows a steady accumulation of 11,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 9,042 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is in consistent use, which often prevents the seal-related issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this age and mileage. Although the MOT history does not list specific advisories, a close look at the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure corrosion is not developing. Given the age, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber or cracks and check brake discs for uneven wear or thinning. The previous failures followed by passes indicate the owner is reactive to testing requirements, meaning faults are addressed as they are flagged.
