CITROEN C42013 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-22 at 120,742 miles, but several minor issues were recorded, including brake fluid near the minimum level, a non-excessive oil leak, and tyres approaching the legal tread limit. A prior failure on 2026-06-20, just two days earlier, highlighted multiple lighting defects and similar tyre wear, suggesting urgent attention was required. The maintenance trend shows stability in critical systems, with no major structural or mechanical failures in the last three years. However, recurring tyre wear and fluid levels indicate ongoing maintenance needs rather than a worsening condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 120,742 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of 9,288 miles annually, typical for its age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with the most recent tests spaced one month apart. A gap of 13 months between the 2024-06-28 clean pass and the 2025-07-01 test reveals a period of minimal recorded defects, though subsequent tests identified tyre wear and suspension components nearing replacement. The absence of major corrosion or structural issues in the records suggests the vehicle has not been exposed to extreme environmental stress. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the nearside front track rod end, which showed excessive play in 2025, and the rear brake pads, which were worn thin in multiple tests. The nearside front tyre’s edge wear and the presence of a nail in the rear tyre indicate potential alignment or suspension misalignment. Brake fluid and oil leak monitoring is essential, as both have been flagged in recent tests. While no critical failures were recorded, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection of the braking system, tyres, and suspension for hidden wear.
