C1 Model Years and Shared Origins

The first C1 generation ran from approximately 2005 to 2014, with its successor following from around 2014 to 2022. Your registration gives us the starting point for identifying the version, so include it in your enquiry and leave that identification to us. We cover both generations, but will confirm the requirements for your particular car before giving you a price.

The C1 was built alongside the Peugeot 107/108 and Toyota Aygo. That relationship is useful background, not a reason to assume every version needs the same key. Our main Citroën page explains the wider make coverage if your household has another Citroën as well.

How We Make an Additional C1 Key

If you still have a working Citroen C1 key, arranging a second one lets you choose the appointment rather than wait until access becomes urgent. Our spare car key service comes to where the car is parked.

Start With the Registration

For a C1 spare key, we establish the vehicle details and explain the price before travelling. There is no upfront payment. Your C1's parking spot becomes the place we work—outside your home, at your workplace or in a car park—with no workshop stop involved.

Have Your Documents Available

For Citroën key work, the manufacturer supplies a required security PIN through a purchase tied to the vehicle particulars and ownership information. Your V5C and photo ID are the first items we examine; making the key must wait until that inspection is complete. C1 key programming is part of the enquiry, so explain whether you have a working key or none at all.

When No Working Key Remains

Every C1 model year falls within our lost-key coverage, even with no keys left, so the dealership is not your only route to a replacement. Use our lost car keys service to discuss the situation. We will confirm the replacement and C1 key programming requirements for your registration, with any uncertain details settled before the appointment is agreed.

Our daily service window runs from 8am to 11pm, with arrivals normally taking 45–60 minutes. If the job differs from the description, you hear the revised price first. Decline that change and there is no call-out charge. Two details help us assess the situation: the car's location and whether its interior is currently accessible to you.

For a replacement Citroën C1 key or a spare, the opening message through contact us should tell us the registration and where in the New Forest the car is parked. We will explain what is needed and quote before setting off to the car.
