Recently, the Citroen C1 (and the related Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107), renewed. Reason for the second-hand offerings of the previous generation look good under the microscope in our occasiontest.

Citroen, Toyota and Peugeot decide at the beginning of this millennium together, the latest generation city car to go designs. By sharing the development costs for all three brands is an interesting way to have an affordable, compact car to develop. The basic requirements: light, cheap to purchase and maintain, favourable consumption figures, and space for four adults. The variant of Citroen was C1 baptized, but all three cars are in the same factory in the Czech republic produced.

The Citroen C1 was given in 2009 a facelift and again in 2012 gefacelift. There was one petrol and one diesel, but the diesel is in the Netherlands superzeldzaam. The gas was a 1.0 three-cylinder with 68 horsepower, the diesel is a 1.4 four-cylinder with 55 horsepower.

Issues

• It went to a budgetauto: the C1 had not, by default, the decision about the things that we nowadays consider, such as power steering and central locking. Be aware of this if you are going shopping.
• Check the water pump. This was sometimes already after three years of leaks, which can ultimately make for a overheated block if there is too much coolant is escaping.
• Check to make sure the trim is dry and free of mould. Leakage at the back do prevent.
• Also prone to leakage: the coupling of the cars for t/m 2009. If there is water in the clutch will wear it faster. There is a recall, but check whether this is also carried out. As of 2009, there were bigger, firmer links mounted.
• The rear door is quite fragile. Strong wind the cover can fold back and cause permanent damage.
• The glue of the achterramen of the five-door variant will lose its strength over time, with the result that the panes from the door.
• Exhausts are prone to rust, sometimes the rear shocks already, within two years from underneath the car.
• The catalysts are also susceptible to failure.
• Cars without central locking can sometimes suffer from eroded portiersloten.
