2010 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · MV10 AAY

The 2010 Citroen C4 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all six MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent June 2025 test at 67,506 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results from 2023 (63,919 miles) and 2022 (58,571 miles). No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting consistent maintenance and responsible ownership. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the vehicle has not developed significant wear or corrosion over its 16-year lifespan. The mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual average of 4,219 miles, far below typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle. This pattern may reflect prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through fluid stagnation, rubber drying, or electrical system issues. Notably, the 2022 test at 57,908 miles preceded a 6,628-mile jump to 63,919 by 2023, raising questions about potential storage or infrequent use during that period. While the MOT history lacks defects, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of age-related wear not captured in standard inspections. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension for dry rot in bushes or coil springs, as well as brake components for corrosion or binding, given the vehicle’s low usage. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for rust, particularly if the car was stored in damp conditions. Electrical systems, including the battery and sensors, may also require assessment for degradation. While the MOT record confirms no immediate risks, the mileage pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify hidden issues stemming from prolonged inactivity.
