Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories recorded across its recent MOT history. This stability is evidenced by the most recent pass on 13 March 2026, following a pattern of clean certificates dating back to 2024. Although the records show same-day failures in March 2024 and March 2026, no specific mechanical defects were listed in the provided data, suggesting the failures were resolved immediately. The recorded mileage of 29,228 miles is notably low for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,248 miles per year. Such a low accumulation rate indicates the car has seen very light use, which typically results in minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and suspension components compared to a high-mileage equivalent. Because the DVSA records show no specific failures or advisories, there are no chronic mechanical defects such as structural corrosion or suspension linkage wear to monitor. A test drive should focus on confirming that the vehicle handles as expected for its age, specifically checking for any unusual steering play or suspension knocks that may not have been significant enough to trigger an MOT failure. Attention should be paid to the operation of the brakes and the smoothness of the gear transitions during the road test. Verifying the absence of pedal judder or binding calipers will ensure the braking system remains functional, as these are the primary areas to monitor on a vehicle with this specific usage profile.

Our Verdict

This 2013 Citroen C1 presents a generall

When inspecting this Citroen C1, check the paperwork to understand why tests in March 2024 and March 2026 required a second attempt on the same day, as the recorded test data does not list specific defects for those failures. Verify the physical condition of common consumables such as tyres, brakes, and the exhaust system during a test drive. Ensure that any available service records corroborate the low mileage and confirm when routine items like oil changes and spark plug replacements were last carried out.

Equipped with a compact 998.0cc petrol engine, this Citroen C1 should offer excellent fuel economy for daily commuting and city driving. Insurance groupings for this model generation are typically low, making it an affordable option for younger or newer drivers. Road tax is generally very low or nominal depending on the exact CO2 emissions band for the 2013 variant, and replacement parts are widely available and inexpensive.

Pay close attention to the clutch operation, as the manual gearboxes and clutches on this generation of C1 can sometimes wear prematurely or become heavy. Inspect the bodywork around the doors and boot for signs of water ingress, which is a known trait in some examples of this platform. Given the dual test outcomes in March 2024 and March 2026, inspect all lighting, horn, and wiper functions carefully to ensure everything meets standard operating requirements.

First registered in December 2013, this black Citroen C1 with a 998.0cc petrol engine has covered just 29,228 miles by March 2026. Its MOT history shows test passes in 2024, 2025, and 2026, though both the 2024 and 2026 tests included initial failures before subsequent passes on the same day. With below-average mileage and no lingering defect advisories noted in recent history, it represents a typical lightweight urban hatchback.

The Citroen C1 shares its platform and engine with the Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo, generally known for simple mechanical robustness and low running costs.
