2013 Citroen C1 1.0L Petrol · ND13 FCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on 10 October 2024 at 163,133 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a successful pass in January 2024, which rectified a failure recorded just three miles prior. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing issues before they escalate into failures. At 163,133 miles over 13 years, this Citroen C1 has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage, with a jump of 15,000 miles recorded between January 2022 and December 2022, and another 14,000 miles covered between December 2022 and October 2024. This high mileage typically implies regular motorway use, which is often less taxing on drivetrain and suspension components than frequent short-city driving, though it naturally places the vehicle further into its mechanical lifespan. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear areas common to high-mile small cars. While the MOT record is clean, the physical state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shocks should be checked for signs of play or fatigue. Given the mileage, inspecting the brake discs for excessive thinning and checking the calipers for binding is also essential. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear arches, to ensure the high mileage has not been accompanied by undetected structural degradation.
