Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, prov
When inspecting this specific C1, pay close attention to the suspension and tyres. The 2026 MOT highlighted worn front lower suspension arm bushes and a corroded offside rear coil spring; you should check if these issues were addressed following the test or if they remain as advisories.
Ask the seller for evidence of any work carried out to rectify the suspension and tyre issues noted in May 2026. Given the 998cc engine, ensure the service history reflects regular oil changes, as these small three-cylinder units benefit from consistent maintenance. Check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they aren't perishing, as flagged in the recent record.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for high fuel efficiency, making it ideal for urban environments and low-emission zones. Expect low fuel consumption and relatively inexpensive parts for a vehicle of this class.
Insurance groups for the C1 are typically low, making it affordable for younger drivers. Tax and maintenance costs are generally predictable, though you should factor in the cost of replacing the suspension components and tyres mentioned in the latest MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the underside and the wheel arches. The 2026 MOT specifically noted a corroded offside rear coil spring and worn suspension arm bushes; look for signs of further corrosion or play in the steering and suspension when test-driving the car.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for cracking or perishing, as the recent MOT flagged issues with both the nearside front and offside front tyres. Finally, check the brake discs; while the 2023 MOT noted pitting and scoring, you should verify that the current discs are smooth and free from significant wear.
This 2017 grey Citroen C1 has covered 33,354 miles, which is relatively low for its age. While the most recent MOT in May 2026 showed several advisories regarding suspension components and tyres, the vehicle has passed its tests consistently since 2022. The history shows a progression from a pitted brake disc in 2023 to more recent wear-and-tear items in 2026.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
