2007 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · PK57 AAV

The 2007 Citroen C4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2022-05-23 at 105,814 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals inconsistencies, including two failed tests on the same date in 2022 and 2021, both at identical mileages, which may indicate administrative errors or repeated testing without resolution. No structural, suspension, or braking issues were flagged in the recorded outcomes, suggesting the car has not exhibited critical mechanical failures in the past five years. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,814 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 5,569 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. Notably, the 2020 MOT at 98,113 miles showed a pass, followed by a 4,051-mile increase to 102,164 miles in 2021, then a 3,650-mile rise to 105,814 miles by 2022. These gaps suggest irregular maintenance intervals, though the absence of defects in the records indicates no immediate mechanical concerns. A prospective buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points in Citroen models of this era. The lack of corrosion reports in the MOT history is reassuring, but visual checks for rust on the underbody and chassis are still recommended. Additionally, the brakes and exhaust system should be evaluated for signs of wear, as these components often degrade over time regardless of mileage. The vehicle’s long gap since its last MOT in 2022 also warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its current condition.
