2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · BG15 AED

The Citroën C4’s most recent MOT, conducted on 14 October 2025 at 64,156 miles, confirms a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past year, as the vehicle has consistently passed every test since March 2024 without fail. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—have not been compromised by excessive wear or corrosion. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues; a thorough inspection of high-wear areas remains essential. The recorded mileage of 64,156 miles over approximately 11 years indicates a conservative usage pattern, averaging around 5,832 miles annually. This is notably low for a vehicle of this age, which could imply prolonged periods of storage or light usage. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the March 2024 tests (57,994 miles) and the October 2024 test (60,910 miles), a span of just 7,000 miles in three months—an unusually rapid accumulation for this pattern. The subsequent intervals of 3,000 miles per year (2024–2025) suggest the vehicle was either stored or driven sparingly during that period. Such variability in mileage accumulation may correlate with irregular maintenance intervals, particularly for consumables like tyres and brake pads. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to degradation during low-mileage, intermittent use. Examine the suspension for dried-out or cracked rubber bushes, particularly at the rear, where binding or uneven wear is common. The brake system warrants close scrutiny: check for lateral runout or excessive thickness loss on discs, as well as the condition of the brake master cylinder and hoses for perished rubber. Corrosion is another critical concern—inspect the wheel arches, subframe, and sills for pitting or structural weakening, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods off the road. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should be verified, as the absence of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee they have not degraded unevenly. Finally, assess the exhaust system for leaks or rusted joints, as emissions-related failures are often silent until advanced.
