2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · HK64 AEO

The Citroën C4’s most recent MOT, conducted on January 8, 2026, at 87,292 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks the third consecutive passing test in a row, with the only anomaly being a single failure in January 2025—though this was at 81,920 miles, just eight miles before the subsequent pass at 81,928 miles, suggesting either a minor oversight or a temporary technical issue that was swiftly resolved. The absence of recurring advisories or defects across all tests indicates the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical failures, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds. The most recent test was conducted just six months ago, which is well within the standard three-year MOT cycle, ensuring current compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 7,274 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing—each MOT was conducted within the required three-year window, and the intervals between tests align with expected service intervals for this model. The only notable outlier is the rapid accumulation of 6,000 miles between the December 2023 and December 2022 tests, though this does not exceed reasonable expectations for a well-used car. The absence of any extended periods of inactivity or unusually low mileage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored, which could imply more predictable wear on components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and fluid levels. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection focusing on suspension integrity, particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on this model. The lack of recorded advisories does not guarantee these components are intact, so visual inspection for sagging, uneven tyre wear, or excessive play in the suspension should be conducted. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in past tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding—especially if the vehicle has been driven through wet or heavy loads. Additionally, corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be assessed, as this Citroën model is prone to rust in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions systems can degrade silently over time despite passing MOT tests.
