2013 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · WM13 PYB

The Citroen C1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 59,394 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 6 December 2023 at 54,933 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 59,394 miles for a 13-year-old car, equating to roughly 4,569 miles per year, which is low for the age. The records jump from 46,273 miles on 25 September 2021 to 54,933 miles on 6 December 2023, a gap of over two years with only 8,660 miles added, suggesting extended periods of little use. A further 4,461 miles accrued by the 2024 and 2025 tests. The history is sparse but clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emission issues ever flagged by a tester. One anomaly requires scrutiny: on 29 November 2024 at 57,102 miles the car failed with no defects recorded, then passed on the same day at identical mileage. This points to an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. Buyers should obtain the VOSA failure clearance note to confirm no hidden rectification work was carried out. Given the low annual use and clean test sheet, the buyer should still inspect for standing-related issues not captured by MOT: perished rubber suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and mild structural corrosion to sills and subframes. Verify the brake discs and calipers are free from binding after storage, and confirm the 2024 failure entry was purely clerical before purchase.
