Our Verdict
A compelling choice for buyers prioritiz
Given the very low mileage, you should prioritize checking the service history to ensure the engine oil and filters were changed at regular intervals, regardless of the distance covered. The MOT records indicate a tendency for tyres to perish and crack rather than wear down from use; check the date codes on all four tyres to see if they need replacing due to age.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT failure and the recurring advisories for brake pads and the offside rear fog lamp. Ensure that the rear brake pads and the cut offside front tyre identified in the June 2026 test have been replaced with quality parts.
The 1200cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency and should keep fuel costs relatively low. This model typically falls into a mid-range insurance group for small family hatchbacks, and the road tax should be moderate based on its 2019 emissions standards.
Maintenance costs are likely to be standard for a petrol Citroen, though the low mileage may reduce the frequency of major mechanical repairs. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the 2025 and 2026 MOTs both mention cracking and perishing, which is common in cars that sit for long periods. Check the offside rear fog lamp, as this was flagged as insecure in both 2025 and 2026, suggesting a recurring fitting issue.
Inspect the brake pads, specifically the rear set which caused the June 2026 failure and the front set which had advisories in 2023 and 2024. Finally, ensure the under tray is properly secured, as the June 2026 MOT record explicitly states it was preventing a full inspection of the vehicle's underside.
This grey 2019 Citroen C4 has covered only 18,876 miles since its first registration in June 2019. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of advisories regarding tyre wear and brake pads, including a failure in June 2026 that was rectified the same day. The vehicle's low annual mileage is a standout feature, though it has contributed to some age-related tyre perishing.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Citroen C4, but this specific vehicle's history shows mainly consumable-related issues.
