2017 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.6L Diesel · SJ67 AEE

The 2017 Citroen C4 Cactus presents a roadworthiness profile that appears stable, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-08-20 at 110,232 miles. However, the entry includes a duplicate test result—both PASSED and FAILED on the same date—which may indicate an administrative error. Previous tests from 2024-09-12 to 2022-09-15 also showed no defects, suggesting consistent compliance with safety standards. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns are flagged in the record, though the high mileage for the vehicle’s age warrants closer scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 110,232 miles, recorded nine years after its 2017 registration, equates to an average of 12,248 miles annually—a notably high rate. This rapid accumulation follows a steady progression from 67,935 miles in 2022 to 110,232 miles in 2025, with no significant gaps in usage. Such consistent mileage may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements, even if no defects were noted. The absence of advisories or failures in the MOT history does not preclude hidden degradation, particularly in high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leakage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Additionally, the vehicle’s underbody and bodyshell should be examined for rust, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, the combination of age, mileage, and duplicate test entries underscores the need for a thorough mechanical assessment before purchase.
