2008 CITROEN C41.7L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 113,571 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. The car failed in November 2024 and November 2025 just days or months before scheduled tests, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when prompted by an official MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 113,571 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,310 miles. This figure aligns with typical national averages for an older commuter car. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,500 miles covered between November 2024 and January 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid seals. While the most recent report shows no defects, the history of failures necessitates a thorough physical inspection of common Citroen C4 failure points. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often wear out at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a structural check of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion is vital. You should also verify the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the previous failures were rectified properly rather than masked with temporary fixes.
