Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the braking system. The MOT records from March 2025 and March 2026 both highlight that the nearside and offside front brake discs were worn, though not excessively. You should check if these have been replaced since the last test or use this as a point for price negotiation.
Ensure the service history is complete. For the 1.2L petrol engine, verify that oil changes have been performed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals to ensure long-term engine health.
As a 1.2L Euro 6 petrol vehicle, this C4 Cactus is well-suited for urban driving and is compliant with most UK low-emission zones. It typically falls into a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for a variety of driver profiles.
Annual running costs are kept relatively low due to the small engine capacity and low mileage. Between fuel, road tax, and basic servicing, the estimated annual expenditure remains modest.
The primary area for inspection is the front braking system. Both the 2025 and 2026 MOT tests noted worn front brake discs on both the nearside and offside; check for any lip on the disc edge or signs of vibration during a test drive.
Beyond the brakes, perform a general check of the bodywork and interior. Ensure all electronic features of the cabin are functioning correctly, as is standard for a vehicle of this age.
This blue 2020 Citroen C4 Cactus is powered by a 1.2L petrol engine and has recorded 29,348 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has passed all four of its annual MOT tests since registration. Recent records indicate a recurring advisory regarding the condition of the front brake discs.
Specific aggregate MOT data for the C4 Cactus is unavailable, but this individual vehicle has maintained a 100% pass rate across four tests.
