2016 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.6L Diesel · G22 TAX

The Citroen C4 Cactus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 69,284 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 21 February 2025 at 63,021 miles and 6 January 2023 at 49,081 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the observed period. Annual mileage averages near 6,900 miles against the car's ten-year age, a typical use profile for this model. The gap between the January 2023 test at 49,081 miles and the January 2024 test at 57,526 miles reflects about 8,400 miles in twelve months, slightly above the norm but unremarkable. Records are sparse yet consistently clean; the only anomaly is a failed test on 16 January 2024 at 57,526 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or process error rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of advisory notes in the record, which may indicate limited scrutiny rather than confirmed condition. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant physical checks, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not preclude hidden rust on a 2016 vehicle. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic consumable wear within test limits, though the unexplained fail-pass pair in January 2024 means the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA portal for any omitted rationale before purchase.
