2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · 419 MMM

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 27 February 2026 at 86,622 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The February 2026 test came two days after a failure on 25 February at 86,618 miles, though the DVSA entry logs no defects against either event. A near-identical pattern occurred in November 2024, when the car failed on the 11th at 82,154 miles and passed on the 15th at 82,155 miles with no defects listed. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical deterioration. The odometer shows 86,622 miles against a 2011 build, equating to roughly 5,775 miles per year. The car covered just 4,461 miles between the December 2023 test at 75,694 miles and the November 2024 test at 82,155 miles, then a further 4,467 miles to February 2026. This low annual use indicates light running, though the repeated fail-with-no-defect entries in 2024 and 2026 mean the owner likely addressed minor pre-test preparation rather than neglected consumables. The record itself stays clean of advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion throughout. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's fifteen years. The absence of logged advisories offers no assurance that brake discs, coil springs, or suspension arms are free from wear hidden by the sparse testing commentary. The twin fail-pass clusters without recorded faults warrant direct enquiry with the seller as to what the tester originally objected to before the subsequent pass.
