In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable superminis, offering a nimble alternative to larger hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com records 477 checks across 261 distinct VINs, giving a sample of cars shoppers have researched. The average private-sale valuation is £1,300, while the average latest recorded mileage is 77,000 and annual mileage 4,000. Cars have averaged around four previous keepers, so checking each car’s history and condition is worthwhile. With its 1.1-litre engine, the C2 suits city streets, parking and commutes, and can suit first-time drivers or anyone seeking inexpensive transport for budget-conscious buyers. Its three-door layout is less practical than a five-door Ford Fiesta or Toyota Yaris, but gives this Citroën a youthful, compact character. Check upkeep before buying.
