The CITROEN C4 (2004-08) 3DR COUPE 1.4 SS 90 VTR is a three-door hatchback with coupe-inspired styling, aimed at buyers wanting something more distinctive than an ordinary family car. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable family hatchbacks, offering practicality without the size or expense of larger cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 67 look-ups covering 50 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £500, average recorded mileage of 92,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000. The cars have averaged around four to five previous keepers, suggesting histories deserve careful checking. The 1.4-litre petrol engine suits commuting, town journeys and first-time buyers who want an affordable, easy-to-live-with car; three doors make rear access less convenient for families. Its cabin and styling help it stand out against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra rivals, while a drive and history check are wise.
