2019 Citroen C4 GR Stourer Flair + Ptech SS 1.2L Petrol · FP69 AVK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor wear-and-tear defects. The most recent test in January 2026 at 38,277 miles passed but introduced advisories regarding a frayed offside rear seat belt and perished sidewalls on both front tyres. This marks a departure from the clean record seen in 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to show its age despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 4,892 miles in over sixteen months. While low mileage generally preserves the engine and drivetrain, the presence of cracking rubber components and perishing tyres noted in the 2026 test indicate the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to dry rot and material degradation rather than wear through tread loss. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front wheel bearing, which was flagged with slight play in January 2025 at 31,089 miles. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, wheel bearing play often progresses if not addressed, leading to future failure. The condition of the tyres is also critical, as the 2022 advisory for uneven wear followed by the 2026 advisory for cracking suggests the rubber compound is failing due to age rather than distance. The frayed offside rear seat belt also requires immediate replacement to ensure it meets safety standards for tension.
