Our Verdict
We recommend this 2010 Citroën C1 as a low‑risk purchase, thanks to its clean MOT record and well‑below‑average mileage. Keep an eye on age‑related wear, but overall it offers good value for a small city car.
When inspecting the vehicle, verify that the service history aligns with the low mileage and that regular oil changes have been performed, especially for the 1.0 L VTi engine which uses a timing belt. Request records of any major work such as timing belt replacement, which is typically required around 60,000 mi, well beyond the current mileage. Negotiate on the price by highlighting the vehicle's age and any cosmetic wear, but factor in the benefit of the recent MOT and the low mileage.
Potential buyers should also check for common Citroën C1 issues such as wear on the suspension bushings and any signs of rust around the wheel arches, which can develop on older models. Ensure the electrical components, like the central locking and infotainment system, are fully functional, as older low‑cost cars sometimes exhibit intermittent faults. A thorough test drive will reveal any unusual noises or handling quirks that may indicate upcoming maintenance needs.
The Citroën C1's 998 cc petrol engine typically achieves around 55 mpg (combined), translating to modest fuel expenses – roughly £600‑£750 per year based on average UK mileage. Road tax for a vehicle of this size and age falls within the lower band, usually costing about £120‑£150 annually. Insurance groups for the C1 are generally in the 11‑13 range, leading to an estimated £500‑£650 per year for a standard driver. Including routine maintenance (oil changes, tyre wear, and occasional servicing), the total annual running cost is likely to sit between £800 and £1,000.
Given the MOT history shows no failures, focus inspection on age‑related items not covered by the MOT. Check the condition of the timing belt and related tensioners, even though the car is well below the typical replacement interval. Inspect the suspension components, especially the front lower arms and bushings, for any signs of wear or leaking, as these can affect ride quality.
Examine the body for any rust, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and rear hatch, which are common on older small cars. Verify that all interior electronics – such as the dashboard gauges, central locking, and audio system – operate correctly. Finally, review the tyre tread depth and condition; low‑mileage cars sometimes retain original tyres longer than advisable, so replacement may be needed soon.
The 2010 Citroën C1 (blue, 998 cc petrol) has a spotless MOT history from 2021 to 2025, with no recorded defects. Its mileage of 42,232 mi is well below the typical figure for a 16‑year‑old vehicle, indicating gentle use. The car benefits from a fuel‑efficient 1.0 L engine and low running costs, making it an attractive option for budget‑conscious drivers. While age brings some inevitable wear, the lack of MOT failures suggests it has been well maintained.
While no aggregate data is available for the Citroën C1, the model is generally regarded as simple and reliable, with low complexity and modest maintenance requirements.
