2017 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · LC67 UOS

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 9 February 2026 at 43,293 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, moving from a period of recurring minor defects to a defect-free result in the latest inspection. While previous tests identified several issues, the absence of advisories or failures in the most recent test suggests that recent remedial work has addressed the prior mechanical and consumable concerns. The vehicle has covered 43,293 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 4,810 miles per year. This represents low annual usage, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension. The mileage progression appears consistent, with 4,081 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026, and a larger gap of approximately 6,000 miles between November 2023 and February 2025. This pattern of low mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as rubber degradation, which is reflected in the historical record. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre deterioration. Both the November 2023 and February 2025 tests flagged tyres that were cracking or perishing, indicating that the low mileage may have resulted in rubber ageing due to long periods of inactivity rather than tread wear. A buyer should physically inspect the sidewalls and tread of all four tyres for similar signs of perishing. The 2022 failure involving an inoperative engine MIL and worn front brake discs suggests that electrical and braking components required attention, though the 2026 pass indicates these issues were likely resolved. The repeated mention of a defective front exhaust mounting in both November 2022 and November 2023 suggests a persistent issue with the exhaust system's structural integrity or its fixings. Although the most recent test shows no defects, a physical inspection of the exhaust hangers and mounting points is necessary to ensure the repair was permanent. Additionally, since the vehicle has been driven sparingly, checking the condition of all rubber bushes and seals would be a prudent step to ensure the low usage has not caused unexpected degradation.
