Our Verdict
Highly recommended for a first-time driver or city commuter. This specific yellow Citroen C1 is an exceptional find due to its incredibly low mileage and flawless recent MOT record.
Given the exceptionally low mileage of approximately 15,000 miles over 18 years, the primary concern is not wear and tear, but rather 'dormancy'. Check for perished rubber seals, tyres that may have cracked due to age rather than tread wear, and ensure the battery has been maintained.
Verify the service history to see if the oil has been changed regularly regardless of the low mileage. In a car this old, fluid degradation is a bigger risk than mechanical failure. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any immediate service requirements needed to bring it up to date.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for maximum efficiency, making this one of the cheapest cars to operate in the UK. It will fall into a low insurance group, making it ideal for young drivers, and benefits from low annual road tax.
Maintenance costs are typically minimal for the C1, as it uses simple mechanical components. Between fuel, tax, and basic servicing, the annual overhead is very low, though you should budget for a full service if the history is sparse.
While the MOT history shows no defects from 2021 to 2025, you should still perform a physical check. Inspect the yellow paintwork for fading or clear-coat peel, which can happen to older vehicles kept outdoors, and check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody.
Pay close attention to the brakes and tyres; because the car has only covered about 400-900 miles per year recently, the tyres may be 'flat-spotted' or dated. Ensure the engine starts cleanly and there are no signs of leaks, which can occur when a vehicle sits idle for long periods.
This 2007 Citroen C1 is in remarkable condition for its age, showing just 15,306 miles on the odometer as of September 2025. The MOT history is exemplary, with five consecutive passes and zero recorded defects since 2021. It represents a rare example of a well-preserved urban runabout with very low usage.
The Citroen C1 is generally regarded as a reliable and simple city car, though specific aggregate data for this generation is not provided here.
