2007 CITROEN C41.6L DIESEL

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by the failure of the most recent MOT test recorded on 2024-08-30. This indicates that maintenance has not been kept up to date and that the mechanical condition has deteriorated since the last inspection. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the September 2023 test, which was a failure, suggesting that the brakes have become loose or worn to the point where they cannot maintain grip. The mileage data shows a clear pattern of rapid accumulation, with the most recent test completed in August 2024 at 48,514 miles, far exceeding the 54,860 miles recorded in August 2025. This gap of over 6,000 miles between the most recent test and the current date suggests that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on critical components without any intervening servicing. The suspension and drivetrain have likely degraded due to this prolonged inactivity, as indicated by the ball joint play and track rod end play reported in the 2024-08-30 test. Given the recurring faults, particularly the binding brakes and excessive ball joint play in the most recent test, the vehicle presents a significant risk of immediate safety issues. The buyer must inspect the front suspension and brakes personally to check for corrosion, loose bolts, or structural integrity issues. If the brakes are found to be binding, the vehicle should be taken to a qualified mechanic for immediate replacement before it risks a breakdown.
