On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Citroen C1 Airscape Shine with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Citroen C1 Airscape Shine owner drives around 4,232 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
