Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- Clutch wear from heavy urban useModerate
The C1 spends much of its life in traffic and with new drivers, so clutches and release bearings are often worn long before the rest of the car is finished.
- Front spring, top-mount and drop-link wearModerate
The C1 is light, but potholes still punish the front suspension, making snapped springs and top-mount knocks common MOT themes on older UK cars.
