2006 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · YP06 ABZ

The Citroen C1 presents a currently roadworthy status as of the 16 July 2026 reference date, with the most recent DVSA test on 13 October 2025 returning a pass at 97,798 miles and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available records is stable, showing consecutive annual passes from October 2022 through October 2025. An anomalous failure on 25 October 2024 at 95,643 miles listed no defects yet was followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage. The vehicle exhibits no worsening mechanical pattern. Recorded mileage stands at 97,798 miles for a 2006 model, equating to an average of roughly 4,890 miles per year, which is low for a two-decade-old car. The odometer advanced from 90,813 miles at the 24 October 2022 test to 92,793 miles by 18 October 2023, then 95,643 miles by 25 October 2024, and 97,798 miles by October 2025. Annual increments of about 2,000 to 3,000 miles indicate gentle use with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. The clean sequence of autumn tests, the latest under nine months old, suggests consistent scheduling by previous keepers. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not captured by the bare MOT entries. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude latent corrosion on structural members, degraded suspension bushes, or binding calipers after long periods standing. We recommend scrutinising brake discs for lip and pitting, exhaust emissions system for rot, and tyre sidewalls for perishing given the low mileage profile. Such checks will confirm the car's structural integrity beyond the clean database history.
