CITROEN C42010 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2010 Citroen C4 with 65,394 miles passed its most recent MOT on 2022-03-11, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability in the last four years, as all prior tests between 2018 and 2020 also reported no defects. However, the absence of an MOT since March 2022—over four years—raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness, as critical components like brakes, suspension, and emissions systems may have deteriorated without recent inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,394 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,087 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes. Notably, the 2020-10-19 MOT records show a failed test at 64,579 miles, coinciding with a passed test at the same mileage—a discrepancy that may indicate data entry errors or unresolved issues. The sparse MOT history, with gaps of over a year between tests, limits visibility into long-term mechanical trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion, as low mileage can mask hidden rust in underbody components. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers should be checked for binding or wear, particularly given the lack of recent MOT data. The vehicle’s age and mileage also warrant scrutiny of the engine’s condition, including oil leaks and timing belt integrity. While no defects were recorded in the latest test, the extended period without an MOT means critical systems may require immediate attention.
