2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KN15 ABZ

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a concerning and unstable maintenance trend. While the most recent test on 20 December 2025 at 88,555 miles resulted in a pass, this follows a sequence of three consecutive failures between 27 November 2025 and 20 December 2025. The fact that the vehicle failed three times within a single month suggests a period of significant mechanical or structural instability that was only resolved just before the most recent test. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 88,555 miles, averaging roughly 8,050 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 74,328 miles in November 2024 to 88,555 miles in December 2025. This represents a consistent annual mileage that avoids the risks associated with excessive long-term idling or extreme high-mileage wear, though the recent cluster of failures suggests that the vehicle may have been pushed through a period of neglect or mechanical fatigue during this time. The lack of specific defect descriptions in the DVSA records for the three failures in late 2025 is a significant red flag for a prospective buyer. Because the tester did not record the specific nature of the failures, it is impossible to determine if the issues were related to minor consumables or more serious components. A physical inspection is essential to rule out recurring issues with the suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. You must verify that the issues causing the three failures in late 2025 have been definitively rectified. Focus the inspection on the underside of the chassis for signs of corrosion and check the brake discs for uneven wear or binding. Given the recent volatility in the MOT status, I recommend a thorough check of the suspension integrity and exhaust emissions to ensure the vehicle is truly roadworthy and not merely passing on a technicality.
