The UK mileage picture
Kilometres · miles alongsideUK observations: 2023 · Cohort year: 2016.
In 2023 UK MOT tests, a 2016 Citroën C1 typically showed about 61,699 km (38,338 mi) on the odometer; the middle 80% of readings fell between 32,042 and 103,799 km. Based on 20,878 readings in the DVSA anonymised MOT dataset (Open Government Licence v3.0).
How the 2016 Citroën C1 compares
This page's median is 37% lower than the median of medians for the other 2016 models on OdoTrace (97,286 km, n = 30); this comparison set is not the UK fleet. The older Citroën C1 2015 page has a higher median, 71,456 km (16% above this one). Dividing this page's median by the car's age at the 2023 tests (age in years: 7) gives roughly 8,800 km a year, a simple average derived from the median, not a measured annual distance. This page's readings are spread much like those of the other 2016 models on OdoTrace (n = 30): the 10th to 90th percentile range is 116% of the median, against 106%.
This historical band is not a current-year estimate. Cars have aged since 2023; repeated tests may count the same vehicle more than once.

CO2 and consumption (EU type approval)
EU type-approval figures for the 2016 Citroën C1, by fuel. Consumption is a test-cycle figure and understates real world use, so treat any running-cost estimate as a floor.

UK MOT reliability, reference data from the UK fleet
UK MOT fleet data, a large and well-documented reference fleet. This is UK data, shown here only because the model also carries an EU signal above.
Of 18,239 initial (first-attempt) class 4 MOT tests for 2016 Citroën C1 cars in 2023, 15.0% failed. That is lower than the 15.7% median for cars of the same age in this fleet. (Difference: 0.7 percentage points)
Source: DVSA anonymised MOT test results 2023, Open Government Licence v3.0. A UK fleet reference, not a per-car result. The UK MOT record is a large, well-documented reference fleet, clearly labelled as UK data rather than data from your market. It is not a substitute for an inspection.

What this is, and what it is not
These figures show an aggregate distribution for many 2016 Citroën C1 cars, computed from UK DVSA MOT odometer readings as a fleet proxy. The MOT dataset is anonymised and contains no VIN or personal data.
It is not a per-VIN history. It cannot tell you the mileage of one specific car or whether a particular odometer was wound back. Use it as a sanity check: a reading far below the typical band for the age is a clue worth investigating, not proof of anything on its own.
For one car, check its VIN to see decoded details and any available odometer records, including a Dutch RDW verdict when you add a number plate. For exactly how this band is computed and every source behind it, see the data methodology.
