2018 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · PN18 FHD

The 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 4 February 2026 at 20,400 miles returning a pass with zero defects. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The vehicle has passed every recorded test since at least February 2023, and the absence of any advisories or failures across the entire history suggests no recurring mechanical or structural issues have surfaced during its life. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. At roughly 2,550 miles per year, the car has seen very light use. The recorded intervals show steady, modest accumulation: 13,963 miles in February 2023, 16,514 miles in February 2024, 18,073 miles in January 2025, and 20,400 miles in February 2026. That equates to approximately 2,550 miles added annually, with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps. The data is clean and consistent, pointing to regular but gentle use rather than long periods of dormancy or odometer anomalies. Despite the spotless MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from deteriorated rubber components, including suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls, due to age rather than wear. The tyres on this example may be original or near-original given the low mileage, so checking the date codes and condition is essential. Brake discs and pads can also corrode from infrequent use, leading to uneven wear or binding that a short MOT drive may not fully reveal. Underbody and structural condition deserves close attention. Even with no flagged corrosion on the MOT, a vehicle spending most of its life parked or covering short trips can develop surface rust on subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust components. Inspect the brake lines, fuel lines, and floor pan carefully. The suspension, particularly the rear beam and front strut mounts, should be checked for perishing rubber and smooth operation. A test drive over varied surfaces will confirm whether the dampers are still effective and whether any bush wear has begun to introduce knocks or vagueness not yet severe enough to warrant a tester's advisory.
