2019 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.5L Diesel · DU69 GPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in pre-test preparation. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the June 2025 test at 35,220 miles resulted in multiple failures across different categories before a passing result. The tester flagged defective wipers, incorrect headlamp aim, and a faulty exhaust mounting, suggesting that basic maintenance and adjustment checks were neglected compared to the successful 2024 test. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 5,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2024 at 24,805 miles and June 2025 at 35,220 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Prior to this, the vehicle saw very little use, covering only a few hundred miles between some annual tests. This low mileage generally reduces wear on engine components and brakes but can sometimes lead to dry seals or corrosion if the vehicle has sat for extended periods. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the exhaust system to ensure the rubber mounts identified in 2025 have been replaced and are not showing signs of immediate tearing. The wiper blades should be checked for perished or cracking, as the previous failure indicated they did not clear the glass effectively. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which frequently occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently to keep the components clean.
