2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · BG15 ADU

The most recent MOT test on 2026-01-05 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 90,526 miles. Over the past two years, the record shows a stable pattern—no recurring advisories or failures—despite a duplicate entry in November 2024 (likely an administrative error). The absence of binding brakes, excessive corrosion, or suspension faults in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories does not guarantee hidden issues. The 18-month gap between the 2024 and 2026 tests is acceptable, though a pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify components like coil springs, rear wheel bearings, and underbody corrosion. The mileage progression of roughly 8,200 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2022 to 2023 interval (47,599 to 62,664 miles) shows consistent driving, while the 2023 to 2024 gap (62,664 to 77,304 miles) suggests a slower period, possibly indicating reduced use or seasonal storage. The final 13,000 miles since the 2024 test were covered in just six months, which may have accelerated wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension components—areas that should be closely examined. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension bushes and coil springs for dryness or cracking, particularly at the rear where binding calipers were not flagged but could develop over time. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion on the caliper slides, especially if the vehicle was stored with wet brakes. Underbody corrosion is a critical concern for a 2015 model; focus on the sills, subframe, and rear axle areas, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be verified, as the lack of advisories in prior tests may mask uneven wear from previous neglect.
