Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent pattern of roadworthiness defines this vehicle's recent history, with the latest test on 22 May 2025 resulting in a pass. Although the records indicate failures on the same day as the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were minor discrepancies rectified immediately. The overall trajectory of the vehicle's compliance is stable, with no recurring advisories or chronic mechanical failures reported over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 74,360 miles is low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,720 miles per year. This usage profile indicates a lower-than-average level of mechanical stress on the engine and drivetrain components. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of components that rely on regular movement, potentially affecting the condition of rubber seals or the fluidity of braking components. Given the absence of specific MOT advisories regarding the chassis or suspension, the physical inspection should focus on age-related wear. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or linkages. The steering should be checked for any heaviness or imprecise centering, as these can be symptoms of degradation in the steering rack or associated joints. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no pedal judder or pulling to one side, which could point to binding calipers. A visual inspection of the underbody is necessary to check for corrosion on the subframe and brake pipes, as these areas are susceptible to rust regardless of the low mileage. Finally, check for any oil misting around the engine seals, as low-usage cycles can sometimes exacerbate leakages.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Citroen C4 (KR13 ABN) between May 2024 and May 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 15 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt I”.
