2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · BK66 AEY

The 2016 Citroen C4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-07-15, which resulted in a pass at 79,466 miles with no defects recorded. However, a conflicting failed test on the same date at 79,459 miles—also with no defects—suggests potential administrative inconsistency or unresolved minor issues. The absence of recorded defects in the last three tests (2024-06-28, 2023-06-27, and 2025-07-15) indicates that the vehicle has met regulatory standards in recent years, though the repeated failures in 2023 and 2025 without documented faults raise questions about the accuracy of the records or the nature of the initial non-compliances. Mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of 7,947 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2023-06-27 test (58,169 miles) and 2024-06-28 (66,518 miles) reflects a 13,349-mile increase over 12 months, suggesting moderate to frequent use. The subsequent jump to 79,466 miles by 2025-07-15, a 12,948-mile rise in 13 months, indicates accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. However, the lack of recurring defects in the MOT history implies that maintenance has addressed these factors proactively. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these components often degrade with mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records is reassuring, but a physical check of the exhaust system and brake discs is recommended to confirm their condition. The vehicle’s history lacks specific mechanical warnings, but the rapid mileage growth and ambiguous failed tests warrant scrutiny of service logs to verify that repairs were completed as required.
