2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KR13 ADU

The 2013 Citroen C4 demonstrates a mixed maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2024-08-27 confirming roadworthiness at 134,225 miles. However, the vehicle failed an MOT on the same date, though no defects were recorded, suggesting potential administrative errors or minor non-compliances resolved post-test. Previous tests from 2023 and 2022 showed consistent passing, with no defects noted, indicating a stable baseline. The lack of recorded issues in recent tests implies effective upkeep, though the 2024 failure without explanation raises questions about compliance with legal standards. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, averaging 10,325 miles per year over 13 years. The 2023-09-09 test at 121,298 miles and 2022-03-30 test at 106,229 miles show regular intervals, though a 12-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests may indicate reduced scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage has not accelerated sharply, avoiding excessive wear on components like brakes or suspension. However, the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into wear patterns, particularly for consumables or structural integrity. A buyer should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, given the model’s known susceptibility to worn bushes and coil springs. The lack of recorded brake-related issues is positive, but corrosion or binding calipers could still exist. Structural integrity should be verified, as rust is common in older Citroens. While MOT records show no critical faults, the 2024 failure without explanation warrants scrutiny of compliance history and a professional assessment of mechanical components not flagged in the tests.
