2016 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · LG66 FMU

Five consecutive MOT tests have been recorded against this C4 Cactus between 2021 and 2025, and every one of those examinations concluded with a pass and a completely clean advisory and defect sheet. That unbroken sequence of unannotated results is the defining feature of this vehicle's roadworthiness record: there is no documented pattern of recurring brake, suspension, exhaust, lighting, or corrosion advisories for the tester to flag, and no failures or refusals have been recorded at any point. The most recent examination on 3 November 2025 closed out the sequence in the same vein as the prior four, leaving a record that points to stable, consistent condition across the testing years rather than any deterioration that has yet to cross the pass/fail threshold. The recorded odometer reading of 97,927 miles against a 2016 build date equates to an average accumulation of roughly 9,800 miles per year over the ten-year period, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no conspicuous anomalies in the mileage progression: no extended stationary gaps that would imply long periods off the road, no sudden year-on-year jumps that might suggest clock irregularities, and no clusters of tests separated by unusually short or long intervals. This pattern of regular, moderate annual use is mechanically neutral to mildly favourable, as it tends to keep consumables, lubricants, and moving components in normal working order without the extremes of high-mileage wear or the standing-still issues that affect very low-use vehicles. Because the MOT history contains no recorded advisories, there are no specific components with documented deterioration to investigate as priority items on a pre-purchase inspection. That said, a buyer should still approach a ten-year-old C4 Cactus with the age-related wear points typical of the model in mind. The suspension system, particularly the front wishbones, anti-roll bar drop links, and the rear torsion beam bushes, should be checked for play, knocking, or clonking over uneven road surfaces, as these are common wear items on Cactus examples reaching this mileage band. The steering should be assessed for any vagueness, rattle through the rack, or uneven tyre wear that might indicate perished bushes or worn tie rod ends, and the tyres themselves inspected for both tread depth and any inner or outer-edge wear that points to alignment or suspension geometry issues. The braking system, while free of any MOT-recorded defects, warrants a thorough physical check at this age and mileage. The front discs and pads should be inspected for lipping, scoring, or corrosion pitting, and the caliper slide pins and guide channels checked to ensure the calipers are not binding, as a binding caliper will manifest as pulling to one side under braking or uneven pad wear. The rear drum or disc assemblies, depending on the specification, should be examined for seized mechanisms or worn handbrake components. A road test should also include listening for any clonks from the suspension over speed bumps, feeling for vibration through the steering wheel under braking that could indicate disc run-out, and checking that the clutch and gearbox operate smoothly without slip, crunch, or excessive rattle, since none of these drivetrain items are documented in the MOT file but are entirely consistent with the mechanical expectations of a 97,000-mile C4 Cactus.
