CITROEN C4 Common
As of 2026 Q1, 193,174 CITROEN C4s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 240,030 in 2018 Q3 — only 80% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 46,856 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 8,391 a year (4.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2042 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the C4
The Citroën C4 is a car produced by Citroën, part of Stellantis. It was positioned to be the successor to the Citroën Xsara. The first generation production started in September 2004. For its first two generations, the C4 was a compact car/small family car, but it was redesigned as a subcompact crossover SUV for its third generation. In June 2020, the third-generation C4 was released in the form of coupé SUV, abandoning the traditional C-segment hatchback/saloon body style.
