2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · AE64 YBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding braking and suspension components. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026, the report reveals new defects including a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and a damaged tyre. The recurring presence of pitted and scored brake discs suggests that components are often only addressed when they approach failure limits rather than as part of a preventative regimen. At 117,939 miles, the Citroen has averaged approximately 9,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026, and over 17,000 miles in the year prior. This consistent mileage pattern suggests regular road use, which explains the standard wear observed on consumable items like brakes. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the history shows persistent corrosion and scoring on both front and rear discs across the last four years. The advisory for uneven tyre wear on the inner and outer edges in 2025 indicates potential alignment issues or suspension geometry problems that should be verified. Furthermore, the failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint cover highlights that rubber components in the suspension are aging, necessitating a physical check of all bushes and joints to prevent further mechanical play.
