AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Citroen C4 Cactus presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 7 July 2025 at 89,373 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 test passed with no defects logged, and prior annual tests in 2024 and 2023 also returned passes with clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring component failures within the data supplied. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,937 miles per year against the 89,373 miles recorded. The records show consistent yearly use: 65,245 miles at the 3 July 2023 test, rising to 77,110 miles on 6 July 2024 and 89,373 miles by 7 July 2025. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps exceeding twelve months and no sudden accumulation suggesting heavy commercial duty or neglected standing periods. Two failed tests on 7 July 2025 and 6 July 2024 at 89,372 and 77,110 miles respectively show no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, as the MOT history offers no visibility of worn consumables or corrosion that a physical check would reveal. Given the absence of advisories across three years, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a passable standard without deferred major repairs. A pre-purchase examination of exhaust emissions, tyre tread depth, and wiper operation remains prudent despite the clean record.
