2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · BV16 UJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 29, 2026, at 24,678 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The most recent test showed a failure due to a critical cut in the offside rear tyre reaching the cords and cracking on the nearside rear tyre. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the history of failures suggests that the owner only addresses defects when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,468 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 20,378 miles and April 2025 at 22,911 miles, the car covered only 2,533 miles in a year. This low rate of use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The evidence of perishing and cracking on tyres in 2025 confirms that the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing materials to dry out despite the low mileage. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system, as the 2025 records flagged thin pads and pitted or scored discs on all wheels. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from corrosion on brake rotors which can lead to binding calipers or poor performance. You should also inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as the record shows a recurring issue with rubber failure. The repeated failure of the washer system and registration plate lamp further highlights a neglect of basic service items that should be verified during a physical inspection.
