Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, tho
When inspecting this specific C1, check that the number plate spacing issue noted in both 2024 and 2025 has been professionally rectified to meet legal standards. You should also ask for evidence that the nearside front shock absorber, which showed light oil misting in August 2025, has been inspected or replaced.
Request the service history to see if the 998cc engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for small-capacity petrol engines. Given the recent MOT advisories, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the suspension and tyre condition is recommended.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for high efficiency, making this a low-cost option for city commuting. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is generally exempt from many low-emission zone charges in UK city centres.
Insurance groups for the C1 are typically low, and the small engine size keeps annual tax and fuel costs manageable. Expect typical maintenance costs to be relatively low, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads.
Specifically examine the nearside front shock absorber to ensure the 'light misting of oil' reported in the August 2025 MOT has not progressed to a significant leak. Check the condition of all four tyres, noting the previous failure involving a nail in the offside rear tyre in September 2024.
Verify that the front and rear registration plates are correctly spaced and conform to legal requirements, as this has been a recurring failure point in the last two MOT tests. Finally, check the overall suspension health, as the shock absorber issue is the most recent mechanical concern recorded.
This 2019 Citroen C1, finished in green, has covered 41,500 miles since its registration in May 2019. The MOT history shows three recorded tests, with the most recent passing in August 2025. While there have been failures regarding number plate spacing and a tyre issue, the mileage is relatively consistent with its age.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Citroen C1 model.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2019 model year cars.
- 1.0 VTi clutch wear and slipModerate
Stop-start urban driving and repeated hill starts cause premature wear to the friction plate on the 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine. A high bite point develops, followed by slipping under load in third or fourth gear and burning smells when executing parking manoeuvres.
- Front suspension drop link and lower arm bush wearModerate
Potholed UK urban roads degrade the rubber ball joints on the anti-roll bar drop links and the front lower wishbone bushes. Play develops quickly, causing loud clonking noises over speed cushions and rough tarmac, accompanied by loose steering response and uneven tyre wear.
