2018 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · LF18 ACX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 51,780 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of mechanical neglect. While the early 2025 test required immediate attention, the subsequent pass two weeks later suggests the identified issues were addressed and the vehicle was returned to operational standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of usage between tests, with 11,576 miles driven between March 2023 and 2024, and another 11,094 miles between 2024 and early 2025. This regular use suggests the car is driven consistently rather than left sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber-based components and prevents brake-related seizing. The failure in February 2025 at 39,659 miles highlights a specific lapse in preventative braking system maintenance. The tester flagged a front brake pad below the 1.5mm legal limit alongside both nearside and offside front brake discs showing significant wear. This indicates that the previous owner waited until components reached a failure point rather than following a standard service interval. A buyer should verify the current thickness of the front brake material and ensure the replacement parts were of sufficient quality and have not worn prematurely since. Given the clean record regarding structural integrity and suspension advisories, the physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and tyre condition. While the mileage is low, the buyer should check for signs of bushing wear or perished rubber which can occur with age regardless of distance. Since the records show no history of emissions failures or fluid leaks, the vehicle appears to be a sound example provided the recent mechanical service history matches the MOT data.
