2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · S7 AOK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test on April 20 2026 at 182,398 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure for a defective rear exhaust mounting and an inoperative registration plate lamp. The trend in mechanical attention appears inconsistent, with the owner only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between tests. At 11 years old with 182,398 miles on the clock, this Citroen C4 has averaged approximately 16,500 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average. The data shows a notable burst of usage between December 2024 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered 9,000 miles in just four months. This high-mileage profile suggests heavy motorway use but places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is reflected in the frequent failures of these components over the last two years. A buyer must focus closely on the recurring issues with the suspension and braking systems. The nearside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged as excessively worn in both December 2024 and April 2025, indicating that previous repairs may not have been comprehensive enough. Furthermore, the rear brake discs were recorded as significantly and obviously worn in late 2024. Given the high mileage, a thorough inspection of the remaining bushings, coil springs, and brake lines is essential to ensure other components are not nearing their terminal wear. The history of recurring electrical failures involving the stop lamps, horn, and windscreen wipers suggests a lack of basic pre-inspection checks. The wipers failed to clear the glass in both December 2024 and April 2026, showing that minor consumables are ignored until the test fails. While these are relatively simple fixes, the frequency of these faults combined with the high mileage suggests the vehicle may require a significant investment in new components to ensure long term reliability.
