CITROEN C42015 · 1.6L DIESEL

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 March 2026 at 59,381 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is resolving rather than worsening, given that the only failure in the immediate run-up was a fractured nearside front coil spring, rectified within four days. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the February 2025 and February 2024 tests cleanly aside from a trivial washer fluid shortfall, so no ongoing mechanical decline is evident in the record. Recorded mileage sits at 59,381 against an eleven-year-old car, equating to roughly 5,400 miles per year. The DVSA data shows only 5,593 miles covered between the February 2024 test at 53,788 and the March 2026 pass, with just 972 miles added across the whole of 2025. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion on unused components even where the test sheet stays clean. A buyer should still confirm the quality of the replacement nearside front coil spring fitted after the 26 February 2026 failure at 59,374 miles, and inspect the opposing front spring for fatigue or cracking. Low mileage and a clean 2024 to 2025 history mean suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers have seen little cycling, but standing can cause seizing; a physical check for binding and surface rust on the subframe is warranted. The washer fluid lapse in February 2025 was a minor consumable omission rather than a mechanical risk, yet it hints the previous owner occasionally deferred basic top-ups.
