2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · ML11 AEG

The Citroen C4 presented a clean roadworthy status at its most recent examination on 6 October 2025, where the tester passed the vehicle at 74,476 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. Earlier, on 3 October 2024 and 5 October 2023, the DVSA log shows an initial failure immediately followed by a pass on the same day and at identical mileage, each with no defects listed. This pattern signals administrative retests rather than worsening mechanical condition, and the absence of advisories across all passes confirms no escalating wear. The odometer reading of 74,476 miles on a 2011 model equates to roughly 4,965 miles annually, a low figure for a fifteen-year-old hatchback. Between the October 2023 test at 67,289 miles and the October 2024 test at 72,241 miles the car covered 4,952 miles, then only 2,235 miles to the October 2025 test at 74,476 miles. Such limited yearly use suggests light commuting or extended periods stationary. The record itself is sparse but unblemished by recorded faults, indicating the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance even if the same-day fail entries hint at rushed presentation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT summaries may omit. The tester recorded no corrosion or suspension issues, yet a Citroen of this era often develops degraded suspension bushes and fractured coil springs under low-mileage storage. Examine brake discs for rust pitting and check calipers for binding after standing. Verify structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for corrosion, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits given intermittent use. The clean history does not negate the need for hands-on checks of these consumable and structural items.
