2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · AK64 ACV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-22 at 32,190 miles recorded a pass, but an identical date also shows a fail with no defects noted, creating ambiguity. Previous tests from 2024-08-22 to 2022-11-07 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend up to 2025. The lack of recorded issues in earlier years suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the 2025 fail without explanation raises questions about potential oversights or administrative errors. The mileage of 32,190 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 2,682 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age. This low usage may indicate periods of inactivity, increasing risks of fluid stagnation, battery degradation, or component stiffness. The 2023-11-03 test at 29,688 miles and 2024-08-22 at 31,138 miles show gradual mileage growth, with no gaps suggesting prolonged storage. However, the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into wear patterns beyond the stated pass/fail outcomes. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, common in low-mileage vehicles with infrequent use. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as inactivity can lead to seized parts. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the records, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust or damage is advisable. The 2025 fail, though unexplained, warrants verification of the vehicle’s current compliance and a pre-purchase mechanical check to confirm no hidden issues persist.
