2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LN14 AFO

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass dated 2026‑05‑18 at 121,753 miles with no recorded defects, indicating it meets the minimum roadworthiness standards at the time of testing. The preceding record shows a clear improvement: a tyre‑tread failure at 118,517 miles on 2025‑05‑02 was followed by a clean pass at 118,521 miles the same day, and the earlier rear‑stop‑lamp fault at 56,003 miles on 2024‑04‑23 was resolved by the subsequent pass on 2024‑04‑25. This sequence suggests the identified issues have been addressed, establishing an upward maintenance trend despite the intermittent failures. Mileage accumulation between April 2024 and May 2025 rose from 56,003 miles to 118,521 miles—a gain of roughly 62,500 miles in just over a year—reflecting a period of intensive use. The rate then moderated to about 3,200 miles over the following twelve months, aligning more closely with the vehicle’s typical 10 k‑mile annual average. The MOT gaps are minimal, with tests spaced roughly twelve months apart, providing a relatively complete picture of the car’s condition over its twelve‑year lifespan. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, checking both front inner tyres for tread depth and any uneven wear patterns that may have prompted the earlier 5.2.3(e) failure. The brake system warrants scrutiny: verify the rear stop‑lamp operation, examine calipers for binding, and assess disc thickness and surface condition for corrosion or glazing. Given the high mileage and the vehicle’s age, suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be examined for wear, while a thorough under‑body scan will reveal any rust or corrosion affecting structural integrity. These targeted checks will complement the MOT history and reveal any latent deterioration not captured in the test records.
