2004 CITROEN C31.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test on 13 July 2022 at 113,832 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage. This suggests a minor issue or presentation failure was identified and rectified immediately. Since that period, the vehicle has maintained a clean test history without further mechanical or structural advisories. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,174 miles per year. Between March 2019 at 101,095 miles and July 2022 at 113,832 miles, the car covered 12,737 miles over three years. This low rate of use suggests infrequent driving which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, the lack of recorded MOT data since July 2022 indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for nearly four years, which often introduces risks related to rubber degradation and brake fluid contamination. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower chassis and suspension components, as low-mileage cars often suffer from perished bushes and seized brake calipers. Check for structural corrosion on the rear arches and sills, which are common failure points for this era. Given the gap in testing history, verify the condition of the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for flat spotting or cracking despite potentially sufficient tread depth.
