2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · AF16 TBY

The 2016 Citroen C4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-03-11 inspection at 24,250 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2026 showed passing results with no advisories, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The vehicle’s compliance with safety standards is confirmed, though the absence of recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear in non-MOT-checked components. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 2,425 miles over 10 years, with tests spaced exactly one year apart. The 2022-03-15 test at 15,751 miles to the 2026-03-11 test at 24,250 miles shows a steady 8,500-mile increase, reflecting regular but light usage. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, potentially affecting rubber seals, fluids, and electrical systems. No rapid mileage spikes or gaps in testing are evident, though the sparse data offers limited insight into long-term wear trends. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask age-related degradation. Check for corrosion in the underbody and exhaust system, which may have been unaffected by MOT tests. Verify the condition of brake components, as the absence of advisories does not guarantee optimal performance. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as MOT records do not evaluate chassis rust or panel damage. The vehicle’s clean MOT history is reassuring but does not replace a hands-on evaluation of critical mechanical and structural elements.
