2018 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · KT18 XEG

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 44,798 miles indicates the onset of wear on braking components. While the car passed this latest inspection, the tester flagged both offside front and nearside front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 42,286 miles, suggesting that the braking surfaces have degraded during the intervening 2,512 miles of use. The mileage history shows a consistent, low-use pattern averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year. The vehicle covered 9,399 miles between June 2021 and February 2023, and has maintained a steady, gradual increase since. This low annual mileage often correlates with less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, but the records suggest the vehicle may sit idle for periods. This is evidenced by the 2021 and 2024 advisories regarding tyres cracking or perishing, which are common symptoms of age-related rubber degradation in vehicles that do not see frequent road use. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the front brake discs and pads, as the pitting noted in the 2026 test suggests the discs may require replacement soon to avoid uneven braking or noise. The recurring mentions of tyre damage and perishing across the 2021, 2024, and 2026 records imply that the owner should inspect the full set of tyres for sidewall cracking and tread depth. Although the 2023 failure regarding a missing CV boot clip was resolved, a physical inspection of the CV boots is advisable to ensure no new leaks or splits have developed. The history also shows minor electrical and lighting issues, such as the insecure position lamp in 2026 and the fog lamp failure in 2021. While these are minor, the pattern of insecure light fittings suggests a need to check the overall integrity of the exterior trim and light housings. No significant structural corrosion or suspension failures have appeared in the records, which is positive for a vehicle of this age.
