2012 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KW12 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT history. The November 2025 test at 52,033 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car is currently in a compliant state. This follows a period of relatively minor maintenance, such as the November 2024 advisory regarding pitted or scored front brake discs at 48,108 miles. The absence of defects in the last two years suggests a consistent level of upkeep or the successful rectification of previous minor issues. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in mileage, with the distance rising from 14,355 miles in June 2015 to 52,033 miles in November 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has likely spent significant time stationary or has been used primarily for short, infrequent trips. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized calipers due to lack of regular operation. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on the braking system and peripheral consumables. The history shows recurring issues with brake discs and pads, specifically in June 2017 and November 2024, which implies the braking components are subject to standard wear or surface corrosion from low usage. The 2019 test flagged several tyres that were cracking or perishing, alongside a damaged nearside mirror, which points to a period where basic cosmetic and consumable maintenance was neglected. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical check of all rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure that age-related degradation has not occurred despite the low distance travelled. The tester also noted headlamp aim issues and washer fluid problems during a failure in June 2018, though these appear to have been resolved. Verifying the current condition of the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the exterior mirrors is a sensible precaution.
