The 2022 Citroen C1 demonstrates a lower overall defect rate, with 60 defects per 100 vehicles compared to the average of 70. The model shows excellent performance in several categories, notably steering, where it has no recorded defects, and in lights and electrics, which is significantly better than average. However, it has a higher issue rate with brakes, registering 54 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 30.
