Too new to rate yet — worth knowing

Got a specific Citroen C4 Sense + Puretech S/s Auto you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

This 2023 Citroën C4 is a genuinely reliable performer: 90.9% of these cars pass their MOT first time, well above the UK average of 80%, and none have ever recorded a dangerous defect. The petrol automatic engine is proving dependable in real-world use, with virtually no failures showing up across the 271 vehicles analysed.

At just over 27,700 miles median mileage, these cars are still relatively young, so the strong pass rate reflects good early-life condition rather than long-term durability yet. When failures do occur they're rare (0.01 per vehicle on average), and advisories are minimal at 0.1 per car—meaning you're looking at a low-maintenance ownership experience in year one. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection anyway, but this data suggests the C4 Sense is built to keep you out of the garage.
