2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · BK65 YEE

The 2015 Citroen C4 presents a stable and recently clean bill of health. The most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 recorded a pass with zero defects at 81,623 miles, which is a positive shift from the minor advisories noted in the preceding years. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, with the vehicle moving from a pattern of consumable wear and minor component fatigue to a fully compliant state within the last twelve months. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,420 miles per year. The annual tests between 2021 and 2025 show a steady progression from 52,877 miles to 81,623 miles, with no significant gaps in the testing record or erratic jumps in distance covered. This regular, moderate use suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally favourable for preventing long-term corrosion and seizure of mechanical components. Despite the clean 2025 result, the history between 2023 and 2024 flags recurring issues with the rear braking system. In the September 2023 test at 65,551 miles, the tester noted worn and pitted rear brake discs, a condition that persisted into the September 2024 test at 73,734 miles. While these were not deemed serious enough to cause a failure, pitted discs indicate prolonged neglect or aggressive braking habits. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the rear calipers for signs of binding and measure the disc thickness to ensure the recent pass was not simply a result of a lenient tester margin. The 2023 test also flagged a worn offside front suspension arm rear bush, a component that degrades gradually and can cause vague steering and uneven tyre wear if ignored. Combined with the advisory for all four tyres wearing on their edges in the September 2021 test at 52,877 miles, this points to a history of suspension geometry drift. Before purchase, have the front subframe and suspension bushes thoroughly checked for play, and verify the wheel alignment to prevent premature tyre wear on the replacement rubber.
