2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · BV16 AJO

This Citroen C4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 17 March 2026 at 87,895 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,790 miles per year. The accumulation of distance is steady and predictable, with 7,661 miles added between the March 2025 test and the March 2026 test. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration from standing. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding technical faults. While the vehicle failed on 1 March 2024 and 5 March 2025, these failures were rectified on the same day, and the records show no specific defects listed. This suggests the failures were likely due to minor administrative errors or trivial consumables that were resolved immediately. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, structural corrosion, or suspension wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age related wear that MOT tests often overlook. Check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and the suspension bushes for perishing, as these are typical for a car of this age and mileage. Given the lack of advisories, a manual check of the tyre tread depths and the service history for oil change intervals will confirm if the previous owner followed a proactive maintenance schedule beyond the minimum legal requirements.
