AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Citroen C4’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-24 at 50,218 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the prior test on 2024-04-23 at 41,268 miles also passed, while a failed test on 2024-04-19 at the same mileage was recorded without defects. This inconsistency suggests potential data entry errors or repeated testing, though the absence of recorded issues implies no critical failures. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating concerns in the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,218 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,022 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. A notable gap exists between the 2023-04-17 test (33,820 miles) and 2024-04-19 test (41,268 miles), reflecting a 7,448-mile increase in 12 months. This jump, combined with the low annual average, may indicate periods of inactivity or inconsistent usage. The 2025-03-24 test shows a further 8,950-mile rise, suggesting increased recent usage. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, but the sparse data limits detailed analysis of wear patterns. A buyer should verify the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system during an in-person inspection, as these components are critical for safety and often flagged in older vehicles. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues in the MOTs is positive, but the low mileage and potential storage periods could mask hidden wear in components like suspension bushes or coil springs. The 2024-04-19 failed test, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny to confirm if it was a technical error or an overlooked fault. Overall, the vehicle appears well-maintained but requires physical examination to validate the MOT records’ accuracy.
