Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The MOT conducted on 2 August 2022 at 121,020 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the car was in a clean mechanical state at that time. This followed a period of minor instability in 2020 and 2021, but the owner successfully addressed necessary repairs to secure a passing result. At 121,020 miles over eighteen years, the C4 has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-duty usage for its age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between 2020 and 2022, with the vehicle covering roughly 15,000 miles in those two years. However, because the last recorded test is now nearly four years old, the vehicle is significantly overdue for an MOT, and the current state of rubber components or structural integrity cannot be verified by the provided historical record alone. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, as French vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion and perished rear arm bushes. While the 2022 test was clean, the previous failures in 2020 and 2021 suggest the vehicle has historically required reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing. Inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting and check for fluid leaks around the engine bay, as the long gap since the last official check increases the likelihood of undetected degradation or seal failure.
