2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · BW64 ABZ

This Citroën C4 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no recorded defects across the last five annual tests, most recently passing on 8 February 2025 at 59,606 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not rigorous, servicing to meet DVSA’s baseline standards. However, the most recent test occurred just over five months ago, placing it slightly outside the optimal window for current roadworthiness assurance. While no mechanical issues were formally noted, the lack of advisories in prior tests—particularly on critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—implies either diligent maintenance or deferred inspection of wear items. Buyers should treat this as a baseline but verify recent wear beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 59,606 miles over 11 years—approximately 5,400 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The consistent mileage increments (e.g., 2,924 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 3,025 miles between 2023 and 2024) indicate no rapid degradation, but such low mileage also raises questions about potential neglect of consumables like brake pads, wiper blades, or fluid levels. The absence of gaps in MOT testing further supports a pattern of either cautious ownership or a vehicle kept in a stable environment, though this does not preclude hidden corrosion or structural issues from prolonged standing. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade silently over time. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension components. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for glazing or uneven pad thickness, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion is another critical area—inspect wheel arches, subframe mounts, and sills for rust penetration, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of environmental damage. Finally, verify fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and condition, as these are not routinely tested by MOT examiners. A thorough check of these elements will provide clarity on whether the vehicle’s maintenance history aligns with its actual condition.
