2016 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · AF16 EYH

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 35,860 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March of 2025, 2024, and 2023 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. The recorded mileage shows consistently low annual use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 10 March 2023 test at 28,626 miles, the car covered just 2,116 miles to 30,742 miles by 5 March 2024, then 2,670 miles to 33,412 miles by 14 March 2025, and 2,448 miles to the current 35,860 miles at the February 2026 test. This averages roughly 3,586 miles per year. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though long stationary periods implied by low use can allow perished seals or flat-spotted tyres to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system and underbody. The MOT history flags no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or corrosion, but the DVSA test examines only visible, road-going condition. Given the car's likely extended standing times, check for seized handbrake mechanisms, degraded rubber suspension mounts, and moisture-driven structural rust in sills and subframes. Verify the February 2026 failure was purely clerical before purchase. The duplicate test entry at identical mileage with no defects suggests a documentation error at the testing station. Confirm with the seller that the V5C and DVSA portal show a valid pass, and scrutinise tyre sidewalls for age cracking from low-mileage storage.
