2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KS13 AAY

The 2013 Citroen C4 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-30 at 150,866 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, a failed test on the same date in 2024-10-28 at 139,849 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or retesting. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in prior tests indicates the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it resolved before the subsequent pass. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging ~11,605 miles annually. A notable jump from 107,773 miles in 2022 to 124,388 miles in 2023 reflects a 16,615-mile increase over 12 months, potentially indicating heavier use or infrequent motoring. Subsequent growth to 139,849 miles by 2024 and 150,866 miles in 2025 shows steady accumulation without abrupt spikes. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, suggesting minimal structural or mechanical concerns over the past three years. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear, as older vehicles often experience gradual degradation. Corrosion, especially in underbody areas, and exhaust emissions compliance are also critical. While the MOT records show no active faults, the 2024 failure and lack of detailed defect data necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
