2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · HN65 ABV

The 2015 Citroen C4 holds a current MOT pass secured on 28 January 2026 at 111,975 miles, but the overall maintenance trend is worsening. While the vehicle successfully cleared its most recent test, the accumulation of multiple advisories indicates that previous owners have adopted a reactive approach to vehicle upkeep rather than addressing faults proactively. Recurring items and body damage point to deferred maintenance that a prospective buyer must factor into the purchase cost. Annual mileage accrual sits at roughly 10,180 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a diesel or family hatchback of this age. The history shows a consistent progression of mileage from 29,326 miles in July 2018 up to the current 111,975 miles. The testing cadence remained regular through the pandemic years, shifting slightly from mid-summer slots in 2018 and 2019 to early spring tests between 2020 and 2026, culminating in the most recent inspection conducted six months prior to the current date. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural and safety items flagged across the past three test cycles. The offside rear door and sill have sustained persistent damage noted continuously from February 2025 through January 2026, which requires a close check for corrosion or compromised structural integrity. Front brake discs appeared pitted or worn during the February 2025 failure and pass, meaning friction components likely need immediate replacement. Suspension joints also demand scrutiny, given the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage failure in February 2025 and the subsequent track rod end play noted in January 2026. Cabin safety and electrical ancillaries round out the pre-purchase checklist. The offside front seat belt webbing shows fraying across successive tests in 2025 and 2026, creating a safety hazard that requires belt replacement. Minor items such as the discoloured indicator lenses and defective exhaust mounting from the 2026 test, alongside recurring registration plate lamp failures from previous years, highlight minor electrical neglect. Buyers should verify that all bulbs illuminate correctly and budget for immediate suspension, braking, and seat belt repairs.
