2021 Citroen E-C4 Shine + Electricity · H9 RUM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While it passed the test on 12 June 2026 at 37,081 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to mechanical and consumable defects. The presence of a torn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover on the failure report, combined with a worn nearside front tyre, suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they trigger an inspection failure rather than performing proactive preventative care. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The progression from 12,663 miles in May 2024 to 25,050 miles in June 2025 shows a steady usage rate, and the jump to 37,081 miles in the latest test confirms the car has not been stationary. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the electric drivetrain and braking components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid quality over time. A buyer should physically inspect the front nearside suspension assembly to determine if the uneven wear on the tyre was caused by poor alignment or a failing steering component. The failure of the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover is a warning sign that the joint itself may soon develop play if dirt ingress continues unabated. Additionally, the deteriorated rear registration plate requires immediate replacement to ensure legal compliance, and the wiper blades should be checked for streaking following the 2025 failure for poor clearance.
