Our Verdict
This 2008 Citroen C4 is a viable option for budget buyers but requires careful inspection of past issues. The recent MOT pass is positive, but recurring tyre and brake concerns suggest potential hidden costs.
Prioritise checking the wheel bearings (noted in 2022) and brake systems (2021 brake binding). Insist on a full service history to verify repairs for past issues. Negotiate based on the 2020 MOT failure and recurring tyre problems. Be wary of hidden costs from aged diesel components like the EGR valve or turbocharger.
Diesel fuel economy averages 45-50 mpg for the 1.56L engine, but urban driving may drop to 35-40 mpg. Road tax in 2026 is £155 annually for diesel vehicles registered before 2017. Insurance group 16-18 (average for this era). Major maintenance (e.g., timing belt replacement at 100k miles) could cost £300-£500. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on tyre condition (past wear/cuts) and wheel bearings. Check for brake fluid leaks or uneven pad wear from the 2021 binding issue. Inspect suspension components for wear given the age. Verify that the 2020 MOT failure (tyre cut) was properly addressed. Test the nearside front position lamp functionality.
A 17-year-old diesel C4 with 97,356 miles, this vehicle shows mixed reliability. While the 2023 MOT was clean, prior reports highlight tyre wear, brake binding, and a failed MOT in 2020. The mileage is slightly below average for its age, but age-related wear remains a concern.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Citroen C4, but this vehicle shows typical age-related issues for 2008 models.
