Our Verdict
A low-mileage city car that is attractiv
Given the recurring MOT advisories and failure regarding corrosion, you should request evidence of any preventative underbody treatment or comprehensive repairs. Check the service history to see if the brake pipes were replaced or merely cleaned and coated to pass the test.
Negotiate the price based on the tyre condition; the records show a consistent pattern of tyres being worn to the legal limit or perishing, suggesting they may have been neglected or have aged due to the car's low usage. Ensure you verify that the shock absorber replaced in 2025 was matched with its counterpart for balanced handling.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for low-cost urban commuting, offering good fuel economy and fitting into a relatively low insurance group. Road tax for this model year is typically affordable, making it an economical choice for short trips.
Annual maintenance for a C1 is generally low due to its mechanical simplicity. However, the estimated annual cost of £700-£900 includes fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for the type of corrosion-related repairs seen in this vehicle's history.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the undercarriage. Specifically, check the brake pipes and shock absorbers, as these were flagged as corroded in 2022, 2023, and finally failed in 2025. Ensure there is no further structural rust that the MOT tests may have missed.
Inspect all four tyres closely. The 2024 and 2025 records show repeated issues with tyres being worn on the edges or perishing, which can be a sign of poor alignment or long periods of inactivity. Check for uneven wear patterns on the front tyres specifically.
This red 2011 Citroen C1 has covered only 39,674 miles, which is exceptionally low for its age. However, the MOT history reveals a recurring struggle with corrosion, specifically affecting brake pipes and shock absorbers, leading to a failure in August 2025. While the low mileage is a highlight, the vehicle's history suggests it has been prone to age-related deterioration.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but the C1 is generally regarded as a basic, low-complexity vehicle.
