2018 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · SM67 AAJ

The Citroen C4 Cactus presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 68,105 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged across the five-year record. A short-lived failure on 30 January 2026 at 68,096 miles is anomalous; the DVSA entry lists no defects, which typically indicates a administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, resolved by the pass six days later. Mileage progression sits within expected norms for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 47,104 miles on 28 November 2023, rising to 50,816 by 21 November 2024 and 51,754 on 24 February 2025. The jump to 68,105 miles by February 2026 suggests roughly 16,000 miles accrued in that final year, above the prior ~3,000 annual rate, implying heavier use or a previously undisclosed commuting phase in the last twelve months. Given the absence of flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches, the history implies conscientious upkeep by prior keepers. The clean advisories list means no recurring consumable neglect or structural risk is evidenced in the official data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody structural integrity, as MOT passes at low advisory thresholds do not capture incremental wear. The recent mileage surge warrants checking for drivetrain fatigue and tyre age, despite no test failures on those components.
