2022 Citroen C4 GR Stourer Shine Ptech SS A 1.2L Petrol · CA22 LWC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 11 June 2026. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend appears relatively stable, though the 2025 inspection highlighted several consumable wear items that required attention. While the 2026 advisory is non-mechanical and relates to an obstructed inspection due to child seats, the previous year's advisories regarding tyres and brake pads indicate that the vehicle is being driven regularly enough to reach the end of component service life. The absence of structural or emissions failures suggests the core mechanical integrity of the vehicle remains sound. With 38,975 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,744 miles per annum. This represents typical, moderate usage for a modern petrol-hybrid vehicle and suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive motorway mileage nor has it suffered from the detrimental effects of prolonged periods of standing. This level of usage is generally considered an ideal middle ground, as it implies the engine and drivetrain components have been sufficiently exercised to prevent moisture buildup and carbon accumulation, while avoiding the premature wear associated with very high-mileage use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front axle components following the advisories noted in 2025. The report of nearside front brake pads wearing thin and both front tyres being close to the legal limit suggests that a significant maintenance event regarding consumables has likely occurred or is imminent. During a test drive, you should listen for any metallic grinding or squealing when applying the brakes, which could indicate worn pads, and check for any brake shudder or pulsation at speed, which might suggest warped discs. Furthermore, the mention of tyres being worn on the edges is a specific indicator of potential wheel alignment issues or suspension bush wear. I recommend inspecting the front tyre tread patterns for uneven wear and checking the camber or toe settings if the edges appear significantly more worn than the centre. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding the damaged nearside front door mirror glass should be verified to ensure it has been replaced with a correct, heated, or integrated unit if applicable to this Shine trim level. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, you should also perform a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur even if tread depth is sufficient. It is also prudent to verify the service history to ensure that oil and fluid changes have been carried out on a calendar basis, as even with moderate mileage, brake fluid and coolant should be refreshed to prevent internal corrosion. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure the hybrid system's charging state is consistent, as these are critical components for the Ptech powertrain.
