2016 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · VE16 AJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 47,683 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. This immediate failure and pass suggest a minor issue that was rectified quickly before the re-test, indicating that the owner is responsive to MOT requirements and maintains basic vehicle standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,768 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 17,977 miles, maintaining a steady but light usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule or erratic spikes, which suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left in long-term storage. This low mileage often preserves mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spot tyres or seized brakes if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural failures, in-person inspection should focus on components prone to low-mileage neglect. A buyer should check for surface corrosion on brake discs and caliper movement, as infrequent use can lead to binding. Inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or perish, as these materials degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the clean history, verifying the fluid levels and the condition of the tyres is essential to ensure the vehicle has been as well-maintained as the digital record suggests.
