2019 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · AY69 WBP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 94,766 miles resulted in a failure due to critical tyre defects, including a bulge on the nearside front inner tyre and exposed rusty cords on the offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed just three miles later after addressing these faults, the presence of multiple structural tyre failures suggests the owner only replaces safety components when forced to by an MOT tester. At 94,769 miles over seven years, this Citroen C4 averages approximately 13,500 miles per annum, which exceeds the national average for a passenger car. This high mileage profile accelerates the wear on mechanical components and suspension assemblies. Between July 2023 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 31,239 miles in just two years, indicating consistent high-intensity use. This rate of accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain, braking system, and bushings, which may be nearing the end of their typical service life intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay for the offside front oil leak noted in 2023 to determine if it has worsened or remained a minor seep. Given the recent failures related to tyre damage and bulb failures, a thorough check of the remaining tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure no further hidden structural damage exists. The high mileage also necessitates a close look at the brake disc thickness and the suspension components, as the consistent use indicated by the data often leads to premature wear or perished rubber bushes on these models.
