2009 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · VO09 EHD

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 150,273 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate defects to ensure the vehicle remains legal. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components are operating within the tolerances of the DVSA standards at the time of each inspection. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 150,273 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,840 miles. This aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a small city car and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme strain. The data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 7,700 miles covered between March 2024 and 2025, and another 8,102 miles covered between March 2025 and 2026. This regularity reduces the likelihood of hidden issues caused by neglect or degradation resulting from long periods of inactivity. While the clean history is encouraging, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on common wear points for this era of Citroen. Given the age, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, where rust often begins undetected. The buyer should also check the suspension bushes for perished rubber and coil springs for cracks, as these components often fail without triggering an MOT advisory. Since the most recent failures were resolved quickly, a thorough check of the brake system and the condition of the exhaust system is necessary to ensure the repairs made were durable.
