Our Verdict
A practical family diesel with a moderat
Verify the full service history, paying close attention to the timing belt and water pump replacement intervals, which are critical for the 1.6 BlueHDi engine. Given the recorded failure for a fractured wheel and exposed tyre cords in July 2026, ensure all alloy wheels are free from cracks and that the current tyres have consistent tread depth.
Negotiate based on the status of the front suspension; the August 2025 MOT noted cracking in both front lower suspension arm bushes. Check if these have been replaced since that test, as they were recorded as worn but not yet resulting in excessive movement at that time.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for high-mileage users. However, buyers should be aware of potential emissions charges in Clean Air Zones (CAZ) or ULEZ areas depending on the specific Euro emissions standard of this 2018 model.
Typical maintenance costs for the C4 Grand SpaceTourer include regular diesel particulate filter (DPF) care and standard servicing. Insurance groups for the Flair trim are generally mid-range, contributing to a moderate annual budget.
Carefully inspect the front suspension components. The MOT history from 2025 specifically highlighted cracking in the inner rear bushes of both the offside and nearside front lower suspension arms.
Examine the wheels and tyres thoroughly. The July 2026 failure was significant, citing a fractured nearside front road wheel and a tyre with ply or cords exposed. Ensure the replacement wheel is of the correct specification and that there is no evidence of ongoing alignment issues. Finally, check the rear brake pad thickness, as the vehicle failed on this point in July 2024.
This 2018 black Citroen C4 Grand SpaceTourer has covered 78,818 miles since its first registration in July 2018. The MOT history reveals two failure events in 2024 and 2026, involving wear-and-tear items and a fractured wheel. The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 July 2026 with no defects recorded.
Aggregate MOT data is not available for this specific variant, though the 1.6 BlueHDi engine is widely used across the Citroen range.
