CITROEN C42008 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test. The test on 04 September 2024 at 107,105 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows failures in August 2023 and August 2024, these appear to have been rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent passes, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults rather than allowing them to persist. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,105 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,950 miles. This usage is significantly below the national average, which often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a consistent usage trend, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 2,700 miles leading up to the final test. However, low mileage on a vehicle of this age can lead to dry seals and the degradation of rubber components due to age and lack of mechanical movement. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the effects of age rather than high-mile wear. Because the record lacks specific advisories, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or perished, despite the low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a structural inspection is vital to check for corrosion on the sills and subframe, as these are common failure points for the Citroen C4. Additionally, verify the brake system for binding calipers or seized pistons, which can frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods between uses.
