Our Verdict

Not recommended for most buyers due to severe safety defects and extensive corrosion. The vehicle has multiple dangerous and major MOT failures that would require costly repairs. Proceed only with a specialist inspection and budget for extensive remedial work.

Inspect the brake system thoroughly – check the condition of the discs, pads, calipers and ensure the parking brake operates correctly, as the MOT records show dangerous brake wear and inoperative parking brake control. Verify the integrity of the suspension components, especially the ball joints, bushes and CV joints, since repeated failures of these parts are documented. Examine the chassis and body for corrosion, particularly around the sills, floor and mounting points, as major corrosion findings have been recorded. Review the tyre condition and tread depth, and confirm that the recent tyre wear advisories have been addressed.

When negotiating, factor in the likely cost of replacing brakes, suspension parts and addressing corrosion, which could run into several hundred pounds. Request a full service history and any receipts for recent repairs, and consider a professional independent inspection before finalising the purchase. If the seller cannot provide evidence of recent, thorough maintenance or if the price does not reflect the needed remedial work, it may be wiser to look for a vehicle with a cleaner MOT record.

Fuel economy for the 1.8 L petrol engine is typically around 30‑35 mpg, which translates to an annual fuel cost of roughly £600‑£700 assuming 10,000 mi of driving. The vehicle falls into a higher tax band (Band G) with an annual road tax of about £150. Insurance groups for this model are generally in the 15‑20 range, so expect an annual premium of £500‑£600 for a comprehensive policy. Routine maintenance – oil changes, tyre rotation and minor component replacements – should cost around £150‑£200 per year. Factoring in these items, the estimated total annual running cost is £800‑£1,000.

Start with a detailed visual inspection of the chassis and bodywork, paying close attention to the sills, floor panels and any areas within 30 cm of mounting points, as the MOT history shows extensive corrosion in these locations. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, the functionality of the parking brake, and the operation of all lights and indicators, since dangerous brake and lighting failures have been recorded. Verify the tyre tread depth and condition, especially the near‑side rear tyre which has repeatedly been noted as worn close to the legal limit.

Examine the suspension and steering components – look for worn ball joints, bushes, CV joint boots and any signs of oil leakage from the engine mounting, as the MOT records list multiple failures in these areas. Test the engine oil level and look for excessive consumption, and inspect the exhaust system for rust or damage. Finally, review the service history and any receipts for recent repairs to ensure that advised items have been addressed promptly.

The 2007 Citroen C4 has accumulated 109,067 miles, which is below average for its age, but its MOT history reveals frequent failures. Over the past five years it has failed four tests, with dangerous issues such as severely weakened brake discs, critically low brake pads, and inoperative parking brake. Significant chassis corrosion and worn suspension components are recurring themes, indicating potential safety risks. While the price may be attractive, the cumulative repair costs and safety concerns make it a high‑risk purchase.

Aggregate data for the Citroen C4 is not available, but the model's MOT history shows a mixed reliability record with frequent corrosion and brake-related failures reported.
