2006 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · HN56 AHO

The 2006 Citroen C4’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 at 95,361 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an earlier test on the same date failed with no recorded issues. Previous tests in 2025 and 2024 showed similar patterns, with passes and fails at identical mileages but no structural or mechanical faults noted. This suggests the vehicle’s roadworthiness has remained stable over the past two years, though the repeated fails without defects may indicate administrative errors or minor compliance issues rather than mechanical degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 95,361 miles over 20 years equates to an average of 4,768 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This could reflect light driving or extended periods of inactivity, which might affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs through lack of use. The gap between the 2024-04-17 test (84,926 miles) and 2025-04-01 test (89,015 miles) shows a 4,089-mile increase, while the 2025-04-01 to 2026-04-08 interval added 6,346 miles, both within reasonable annual ranges. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess wear trends beyond the recorded passes and fails. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may mask age-related fatigue. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary. The exhaust system and structural integrity, though not flagged in MOT records, warrant scrutiny given the model’s susceptibility to rust. No advisories or failures in the history indicate immediate risks, but the lack of detailed defect data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
