2022 Citroen C4 Shine + Puretech S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · SC72 HJO

The vehicle presents a stable and sound mechanical baseline, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 19,122 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass indicates no immediate structural or mechanical risks were present at the time of testing. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring faults or advisories to suggest ongoing deterioration. The recorded mileage of 19,122 miles equates to an average annual usage of roughly 4,780 miles, which is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle. The MOT record shows no prior tests, meaning the car likely sat idle or covered minimal distances between its 2022 registration and the October 2025 test. Such low mileage can mask typical wear patterns, as extended periods of standing often lead to flat-spotted tyres, brake disc corrosion, and deteriorated rubber components rather than the friction wear seen in daily drivers. Because the MOT history contains no recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on assessing the effects of prolonged stationary periods rather than chronic mechanical failures. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is common on vehicles that sit unused. Examine the suspension bushes and exhaust system for any signs of perishing or early rust that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could require imminent replacement. Verify the condition of the auxiliary drive belt and fluid levels, as infrequent use can cause seals to dry out and fluids to degrade over time.
