Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sen
When inspecting this C1, verify that the brake issues noted in the 2022 failure (thin pads, pitted discs, and fluctuating service brakes) have been fully rectified with quality parts. Given the 2025 advisory regarding a cut in the offside front tyre, ensure the current owner has replaced this or that it is addressed before purchase.
Ask for evidence of service history to complement the MOT data. For a small-capacity 1.0L engine, regular oil changes are vital. Check the service book to see if the 2022 brake and tyre replacements were documented, as this provides confidence that the vehicle's maintenance is proactive rather than reactive.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this model in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Expect low fuel consumption, making it suitable for urban environments.
Maintenance costs for a C1 are generally low due to the simplicity of the mechanical components. However, budget for regular tyre replacements and brake servicing, as the 2022 MOT history indicates these are wear items that have required attention on this specific vehicle.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The 2022 MOT failure was extensive, citing thin pads, scored discs, and a high parking brake lever; ensure the pedal feel is firm and the handbrake holds securely during your test drive.
Inspect all four tyres for signs of perishing or cracking. The 2022 record highlighted multiple tyres that were cracking or heavily cracked, and the 2025 record noted a cut in the offside front tyre. Finally, check the windscreen wipers for smearing, an issue previously noted in the 2022 inspection.
This 2016 white Citroen C1 features a small 998cc petrol engine and has covered 37,445 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle has a relatively consistent mileage progression, though it experienced a multi-item failure in 2022 involving brakes and tyres. Since that failure, the vehicle has passed its MOT tests without recorded defects in 2023 and 2024.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
