2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · AX62 BYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 100,866 miles saw the car fail due to a non-functional offside stop lamp and four tyres reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed immediately upon a retest that same day, the state of the rubber across all axles indicates that the owner has neglected basic consumable maintenance until a failure was forced by the MOT tester. At 100,866 miles over 13 years, the Citroen averages approximately 7,760 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The records show consistent usage patterns, with roughly 12,600 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 9,500 miles recorded between August 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is not sitting idle for long periods, though the high mileage places significant demand on age-related components like suspension bushings and rubber seals that are not explicitly tested. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the uneven wear noted on all four tyres in 2025 often signals alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. The record of thin rear brake pads from 2022 at 68,779 miles suggests a history of long service intervals, so the current brake discs should be checked for pitting or thinning. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for corrosion on the sills and structural subframes is essential, as no structural defects have been flagged yet, but rust is common on this model at this mileage.
