2018 Citroen C1 1.2L Petrol · VU18 CDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 17,566 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a transition toward minor age-related wear. While the car failed in 2025 due to an ineffective windscreen wiper blade, the subsequent pass showed no mechanical or structural defects, suggesting the owner is responsive to immediate failures once they are identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Citroen C1, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with only 760 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 791 miles between 2025 and 2026. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the data suggests the vehicle suffers from age-related degradation of rubber components due to long periods of standing rather than physical mileage. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system, as the April 2026 test flagged both the nearside and offside front discs as being worn and pitted. Although these did not cause a failure, surface corrosion is common on low-mileage cars that are not used frequently to clear rust. Furthermore, the 2023 record noted all four tyres were perishing and cracking. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the tyres and suspension bushes should be thoroughly inspected for dry rot, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
