2021 CITROEN C4 SHINE PURETECH S/S1.2L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-08-21 MOT at 13,795 miles. The prior 2024-09-09 test at 9,497 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance trend. No advisories or critical failures were noted, suggesting the owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the gap between tests exceeds 11 months, which may indicate delayed servicing or infrequent use. The mileage of 13,795 miles over five years equates to approximately 2,759 annual miles, significantly below average for a 2021 model. This low usage could imply periods of inactivity, potentially affecting components like the battery, fluids, and suspension. The 4,298-mile increase between MOTs occurred over 11 months, averaging 3,000 miles annually, which remains minimal. While this suggests light wear on consumables, it does not eliminate risks associated with long-term storage, such as corrosion or degraded rubber parts. A physical inspection should focus on signs of inactivity, including battery health, fluid contamination, and suspension bushings for dry-rot. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may develop with sporadic use. Structural integrity should be verified, as low mileage does not inherently prevent rust in vulnerable areas. The exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter, warrants scrutiny for carbon buildup or leaks, which could arise from infrequent driving.
