2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KM58 AFF

The 2008 Citroen C4’s most recent MOT on 2024-08-09 at 138,300 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a 2023-07-28 pass at 129,164 miles and a prior failure on 2023-07-25 at 129,153 miles. The pattern suggests intermittent compliance, with no visible mechanical issues flagged in the records. However, the failure at 138,300 miles—nearly 18 months after the last pass—raises concerns about potential undetected deterioration, particularly in emissions or structural integrity, which may require further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 138,300 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 7,683 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with the most recent test occurring 18 months ago. A 9,147-mile increase between the 2023-07-28 pass and 2024-08-09 failure suggests consistent use, though no specific wear indicators are documented. The absence of defects in the records does not confirm mechanical soundness, as failures may relate to non-structural factors like emissions or minor faults not classified as critical. A buyer should prioritize a detailed inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust emissions, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, particularly given the 2024 failure. Corrosion, coil spring fatigue, or binding calipers could manifest without prior MOT documentation. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or frame damage may not appear in standard MOT checks. A pre-purchase survey by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to address these potential issues.
