2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · PE61 ACX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record in its most recent inspection. The test on 7 February 2023 at 61,817 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. While the history shows instances of failure immediately prior to passes, these were successfully rectified, suggesting the previous owner addressed identified issues promptly to secure a valid certificate. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in recorded usage between September 2021 at 44,843 miles and February 2023 at 61,817 miles, during which the car covered over 17,000 miles in just seventeen months. This pattern suggests intermittent periods of stationary use which often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can lead to the degradation of rubber components, drying out of seals, and potential brake corrosion. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system and braking assembly, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished bushes and coil springs that fatigue regardless of distance traveled. Given the time elapsed since the last MOT in early 2023, checking for binding calipers or surface rust on the brake discs is essential. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the underbody needs verification for hidden corrosion, as older French-market vehicles are prone to localized rot that low mileage does not prevent.
