2015 CITROEN C41.6L Diesel

The Citroen C4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 26 July 2025 at 97,972 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations show the same clean outcome, indicating the maintenance trend has remained consistent rather than worsening. The only anomaly appears in August 2022 when the tester issued a fail at 66,231 miles yet logged no defects, followed two days later by a pass at 66,232 miles with no defects; this suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 66,232 miles in August 2022, rising to 73,962 by August 2023, then 84,023 in July 2024, and 97,972 in July 2025. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 8,900 miles, with a slight increase to about 13,900 miles over the final year. No extended gaps exist between tests, and the sparse defect data points to a history free of flagged wear or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core components despite the unblemished MOT ledger. At near 98,000 miles, suspension bushes, front coil springs, and rear beam corrosion warrant close examination. The tester never flagged binding calipers or worn brake discs, but caliper operation and disc thickness should be verified. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity showed no advisories, yet underbody rust and subframe condition remain critical checks on a French hatch of this age. The absence of recorded advisories across five years implies previous keepers addressed issues before each test or the car required minimal intervention. This pattern reflects reasonable upkeep, though it does not confirm replacement of consumables like tyres or wiper blades outside the test window. Prospective owners should budget for age-related refresh of dampers and anti-roll bar links as preventive measure.
