Used Citroen C-Zero for sale

If you’re looking for a practical, all-electric city car with space for four, the Citroen C-Zero deserves a closer look.

Used Citroen C-Zero

This pure electric hatchback keeps things simple, efficient and genuinely cost-effective for UK town and city driving. The Citroen C-Zero was one of the UK’s earliest all-electric vehicles, arriving in 2010 and being sold until 2020. Developed in partnership with Mitsubishi and Peugeot (as the sibling to the i-MiEV and iOn), the C-Zero offers fuss-free driving, easy charging and a surprisingly spacious four-seat layout for such a compact car. Although its 80-mile official range now looks modest, it’s perfectly suited for short daily trips and city commutes. Up against rivals like the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe, the C-Zero stands out for its light footprint and exceptionally low running costs. Its tall, narrow body means it’s easy to park in tight spaces yet pleasingly roomy inside. Standard features include air conditioning, electric windows and stability control as standard, supporting safe and secure journeys.

Pros

  • +Zero-emissions motoring
  • +Tight turning circle, great visibility
  • +Simple interior and controls

Cons

  • -Small boot space
  • -Modest real-world electric range
  • -Ageing infotainment and security
  • What are the key safety features of the Citroen C-Zero?

    The Citroen C-Zero is equipped with ABS, traction and stability control, power steering, six airbags and ISOFIX child seat mounting points. During its time on sale, it achieved a four-star Euro NCAP rating, based on the identical Mitsubishi i-MiEV in 2011, offering decent occupant protection for a city-focused EV of its age.

  • What engine options are available with the Citroen C-Zero?

    Instead of a traditional engine, the C-Zero uses a single electric motor, initially 47kW (around 64bhp) and later upgraded to a 67kW version. All models come with a single-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. There are no petrol or diesel versions.

  • What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Citroen C-Zero?

    Most C-Zeros come with electric windows, power steering, automatic headlights, air conditioning and a basic radio or stereo – with optional higher-quality units on some cars. While they lack touchscreen infotainment or built-in navigation, they offer straightforward controls and good all-around visibility.

  • What is the fuel consumption of the Citroen C-Zero?

    Being fully electric, the C-Zero doesn’t use petrol or diesel – a full home charge costs about £2, offering up to 65–80 miles, depending on weather, speed and use of heating. It remains exempt from road tax and London Congestion Charge.

  • What should I check when buying a used Citroen C-Zero?

    Make sure the battery is in good health – check service records for regular charging and avoid cars left idle for long periods. Inspect for rapid-charging history and ask about any replacement cells. It's also worth doing general checks for tyres, brakes and electronics. For peace of mind, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection.

  • Are Citroen C-Zero cars reliable?

    The electric drivetrain is known for being stable and simple, thanks to Mitsubishi’s original engineering. Most issues relate to wear and tear or battery capacity loss. Regular servicing and attentive charging habits will help ensure a hassle-free experience for city driving.
