2017 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · LD67 FNM

The Citroen C4 Cactus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 October 2025 at 53,157 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows two anomalous fail results on 29 October 2025 and 24 February 2022 at identical mileages of 53,157 and 38,098 respectively, both carrying no recorded defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, as each failure was immediately followed by a pass at the same mileage one day later. The recorded mileage of 53,157 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 5,906 miles per year across the vehicle's nine-year life, marking consistently low use for its age. A three-year gap separates the 2022 tests at 38,098 miles from the 2025 entries at 53,157, during which the car covered only 15,059 miles. Such low annual accumulation implies light commuting or extended standing periods, which can mask intermittent faults and promote corrosion or perished rubber components unseen in a clean MOT sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unexplained fail entries. The DVSA record flags no advisories on corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, yet the 2022 and 2025 failures with zero defects warrant verification that no binding calipers or undocumented wear were overlooked by the tester. Prior ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance, but the duplicate fail-pass pairs at identical mileages reduce confidence in the precision of the recorded history. Inspect underneath for structural rust and confirm tyre condition, as low-mileage cars often sit on aged rubber beyond its safe service life.
