How this compares
Each register is compared on its own with the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for; the registers are never combined into one score. Its 4 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 9 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is more than the 5.7% median.
Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
Typical mileage for the Citroën C1
Pair these recall signals with the odometer distribution for the model year you are looking at:
