2020 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · FL20 XBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the most recent test on May 28, 2026 at 46,419 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure involving multiple safety-related defects. The owner successfully rectified a failed side repeater and several tyre and suspension issues, suggesting a reactive approach that only addresses faults when necessary to pass the annual test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 46,419 miles over six years, the Citroen has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for this model. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with 4,163 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 6,768 miles between June 2025 and May 2026. This steady use indicates the car is driven regularly, which explains the wear on rubber components and tyres despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as both the nearside and offside front arm pins and bushes were flagged for wear in the 2026 test. These components did not yet show excessive movement at that time but their degradation suggests the beginning of a more expensive suspension overhaul. The history also shows recurring issues with front brakes, with the 2024 record noting thin pads and pitted discs, indicating that the braking system is being run to its limits between services. The tyres represent another point of concern as the sidewall perishing and inner-edge wear noted across the 2025 and 2026 tests suggest the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods or has been fitted with low-quality rubber. The uneven inner wear on the front tyres specifically points to a potential alignment issue that needs to be verified by a technician to prevent premature replacement of any new set of tyres.
