Used Citroen C1 2014-2022 reliability review
Cheap to buy and cheap to run, a used Citroen C1 is a fine city car.
What should I look for in a used Citroen C1?
The C1 is designed as a city car, so look for damage to alloy wheels (if it has them) for any kerb damage.
Look also for scrapes or dents to bumpers and body panels, because these maybe costly relative to the price of the car to repair and will affect the resale value if you don’t fix them.
Is a used Citroen C1 reliable?
The Citroen C1 didn't feature in our most recent reliability survey.
However, we know from previous reports that the C1 is well put together, and was ranked as the joint 8th most reliable small used car according to our 2023 reliability survey covering cars between six and 20 years old. That's no mean feat, and it matched the Skoda Citigo.
As a car brand, Citroën came 14th out of 32 manufacturers. Its overall reliability score was 92.3%, beating Nissan and VW but falling short of manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia.
