2018 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · FN18 GPJ

The 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 24 March 2025 at 37,986 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four consecutive annual tests from March 2022 through March 2025 each passed with no advisories or faults raised. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring mechanical concerns across the recorded history. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 20,332 miles at the 16 March 2022 test, rising to 26,274 by 13 March 2023, 32,267 by 6 March 2024, and 37,986 by 24 March 2025. That equates to roughly 5,700 miles per year, well below typical use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear between tests. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept the car lightly used and submitted it for timely annual testing, though low mileage combined with standing periods can mask perished rubber components not visible in MOT data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these items can degrade through age and moisture exposure rather than mileage. The MOT record raises no corrosion or structural integrity flags, but the DVSA test does not strip interior trim or assess drivetrain oil condition. Given the car's low annual use, verify the coolant, brake fluid, and cambelt intervals against Citroen schedule rather than wear-based assumption. The absence of advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or binding brakes indicates prior owners addressed consumables before each test. Treat the verdict as a strong baseline, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical check of aged rubber and fluid condition.
