Our Verdict
This 2014 Citroen C1 is a reasonable budget buy if priced accordingly, but the recurring suspension corrosion and past tyre failures mean it needs careful inspection. Budget for front suspension bush and tyre work within the first year of ownership.
When viewing this car, ask for full service history to confirm the timing chain, coolant, and brake fluid have been maintained on schedule, as the 998cc three-cylinder engine benefits from regular servicing. Use the January 2023 MOT failure (both front brake discs worn/pitted, two rear tyres with sidewall cuts, offside front tyre worn on edge) as a negotiation point — it shows the car was run on worn tyres and brakes at that point, so check whether replacements were done properly.
The 1.0-litre petrol C1 is one of the cheapest cars to run, with excellent fuel economy of 60+ mpg achievable in mixed driving and low road tax thanks to its small engine. Insurance groups for the 2014 C1 are typically very low (around group 3-6), keeping premiums affordable for new and young drivers.
Inspect the front suspension arms closely — the MOT history shows corrosion in 2024 and 2025 and worn rear bushes on both sides in 2026, so check for play and surface rust on the sub-frame. The 2026 test also flagged offside rear tyre cracking, so examine all tyres for sidewall damage and perishing.
The blue 998cc petrol C1 (CV14BBZ) has covered 86,348 miles as of its March 2026 MOT, which is roughly average for a 12-year-old city car. Its MOT history shows a single failure in January 2023 for brake discs and tyre defects, with all subsequent tests passed but carrying advisory notes for corroded and worn suspension arms. No aggregate reliability data is available for the C1, so assessment rests solely on this vehicle's recorded history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Citroen C1, so this assessment is based solely on the individual history of CV14BBZ.
