Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, thi
When inspecting this specific C1, focus on the service history to complement the clean MOT record. Since the MOTs show no defects, you should verify that oil changes and scheduled maintenance have been performed according to the manufacturer's intervals, particularly as the vehicle has now surpassed the 60,000-mile mark.
Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger an MOT failure if they are just above the legal limit. Given the small engine size, listen for any unusual noises during a test drive that could indicate wear in the drivetrain or suspension components.
The C1 is designed for economy, featuring a small 998.0cc engine that typically sits in a low insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it suitable for city commuting and short journeys.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally low due to the simplicity of the mechanical components. You should budget for standard consumables like tyres, wipers, and brakes, alongside periodic servicing. The estimated annual running cost is moderate, reflecting its status as a budget-friendly city car.
Based on the provided MOT history, there have been no recorded failures for items like brakes, suspension, or emissions. However, you should manually inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or leaks that may not have been flagged in previous tests.
Pay close attention to the electrical components, such as lights and wipers, and the condition of the blue paintwork for any significant chips or scratches. Ensure the air conditioning is functioning, as this is a common point of interest in small hatchbacks of this age.
This blue 2019 Citroen C1 has covered 66,749 miles since its first registration in April 2019. The MOT history is notable for having zero recorded defects or failures across five consecutive tests, dating back to April 2022. For a small 998cc petrol engine, the mileage is increasing at a steady rate, but the absence of MOT advisories or failures is a positive indicator of its recent compliance.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen C1 model to provide a statistical comparison.

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.
