2014 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · BD64 AOS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 116,285 miles passed, it revealed new issues including pitted and scored front brake discs and an emerging oil leak from the nearside drive shaft oil seal. These faults follow a pattern of deferred maintenance seen in previous years, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or advisory threshold. At 116,285 miles, the Citroen has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns well with typical UK usage patterns for a twelve-year-old car. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the sudden failure in September 2024 at 105,979 miles due to deteriorated CV boots and thin brake pads highlights that while the mileage is standard, the mechanical components are being pushed to their limits. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and drivetrain in person. The CV boots were flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2023 and 2024 before being replaced, yet the new nearside oil leak in 2025 suggests the previous failure may have compromised the seal or allowed grit ingress. The pitted front brake discs noted in the latest test will likely require replacement along with new pads to ensure effective stopping performance. Additionally, check for signs of fluid spray around the gearbox housing to determine if the oil leak is a minor seal blow or a more significant failure.
