2022 Citroen E-C4 Shine + Electricity · BN22 FVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 11, 2026, at 52,313 miles. However, the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repair following a failure just six weeks prior. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the previous failure in March 2026 indicates that critical safety-related components and visibility were only addressed once they reached a point of failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 37,389 miles and the March 2026 failure at 52,282 miles, the car covered nearly 15,000 miles in twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests significant motorway use, which accelerates the wear of rubber components like suspension bushings and tyres, as evidenced by the defects in the most recent failure report. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The March 2026 failure flagged a worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and a perished dust cover on the offside equivalent. While these were likely replaced to secure the April pass, the high mileage suggests the remaining bushings and arms should be checked for play or perished rubber. The previous failure of the nearside tyre due to a cut reaching the cords indicates the vehicle may have been subjected to impact, necessitating a check of the wheel alignment and potential structural damage to the rim.
