2016 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · TE08 ECE

The 2016 Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 48,156 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from August 2021 to June 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record signals consistent statutory compliance and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern confirms very light use for a ten-year-old car. The tester logged 24,948 miles on 9 August 2021, rising to 28,532 by 6 June 2022, 34,270 on 5 June 2023, 42,104 on 4 June 2024, and 48,156 on 2 June 2025. Annual accumulation held near 4,800 to 8,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Such low yearly coverage suggests gentle commuting rather than neglect, though extended standing periods common at this usage level can still permit perished rubber components or seized calipers unseen by the MOT. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as the DVSA test omitted corrosion advisories but low-mileage Citroen C1 models of this era are prone to structural rust where road salt gathers. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs deserve hands-on checks for cracking or binding despite the clean sheets. Given the sparse yet spotless history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without deferring annual MOTs. No recurring faults exist to warn against, but the absence of advisories across all tests means wear items like tyres and wiper blades were either replaced preemptively or simply within limits. Verify service receipts to confirm fluid changes beyond the MOT scope.
