2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · BV14 YRK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, having passed its latest MOT in October 2025 at 67,297 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of reactive repairs in late 2023. While the most recent test is clean, the history indicates that the owner previously only addressed mechanical issues once they triggered a failure, rather than following a preventative schedule. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,297 miles averages to approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low-usage profile suggests the car has seen limited travel, which often accelerates age-related degradation of rubber components. There is a notable jump in usage between August 2022 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in just fourteen months. This increase in activity coincides with the deterioration of the offside front drive shaft and tyre noted in the November 2023 failure. A buyer should focus specifically on the front braking system, as the record shows worn and pitted discs flagged in both 2023 and 2024. Although the 2025 test was clear, the recurring nature of this fault suggests the calipers may be sticking or the discs were replaced prematurely. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection of the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing is essential, as the tester already identified perishing rubber. The drive shaft boots should also be checked for tears or grease leakage to ensure the previous failure in 2023 was fully rectified.
