Citroen C1 vs Nissan Pixo

Two small cars, compared on the same official records: MOT and inspection results, safety ratings, fuel use, recalls and owner complaints. 2 like-for-like measures: the Citroen C1 leads on 1, the Nissan Pixo on 1.

Where each one leads

Citroen C1

  • Fewer Citroen C1 cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (3.1% against 3.6%).

Nissan Pixo

  • Against cars of the same age, the Nissan Pixo comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 7% more often than average) than the Citroen C1 (passes 2% more often than average).

Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
