2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · DU08 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 18 January 2022 at 137,979 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure five days prior at the same mileage. Because no tests have been recorded for over four years since then, the vehicle's current mechanical condition is unverified and the risk of deferred maintenance or component degradation is high relative to the elapsed time. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for an eighteen-year-old, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between January 2019 and December 2020, the car covered 16,576 miles, indicating steady use. The interval of 8,572 miles between late 2020 and early 2022 suggests a continued period of operation before the final recorded test. However, the lack of data since January 2022 is a primary concern, as it remains unclear if the vehicle has been driven or sat stationary since the last recorded mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as these are the most common points of failure on vehicles of this age. Check for signs of perished rubber bushes, worn coil springs, and corrosion on brake lines or calipers may have developed during the undocumented period. Given the age of the Citro, inspect the structural integrity of the sills and wing arches for rust to ensure the chassis has not suffered from advanced oxidation during the long interval between official inspections.
