CITROEN C42011 · 1.6L Diesel

The Citroën C4’s most recent MOT test on 28 April 2025—just 11 months ago—confirms it passed without defects at 137,136 miles, a clean result that aligns with the vehicle’s consistent history since 2023. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests no systemic mechanical issues have been overlooked. However, the record does reveal two consecutive MOT attempts in May 2024 and May 2023, both ending in failure before eventual passes, which implies either administrative delays or minor last-minute rectifications rather than underlying faults. The trend remains stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions in critical areas like suspension, brakes, or emissions. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of roughly 9,100 miles annually, typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans 12 months with 11,870 miles logged, while the 2024 to 2025 interval covers 9,292 miles—neither extreme nor alarming. The double MOT entries in 2023 and 2024 at identical mileages (119,974 and 127,815) suggest the vehicle was likely serviced or repaired between tests, though no defects were recorded. This pattern does not indicate neglect but does warrant scrutiny of maintenance records for work not reflected in the MOT history. Given the lack of defects in recent tests, priority should focus on high-wear components not routinely MOT-tested. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—will require inspection for excessive play or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Front and rear brake calipers and binding issues should be checked, as repeated MOT failures could hint at intermittent brake drag or worn pads. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, must be assessed for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has experienced wet or salty conditions. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are not recorded here but could indicate underlying issues.
