2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CE16 RBY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent testing issues. The most recent MOT conducted on 26 April 2025 at 90,210 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal standards. While the history shows two failures in previous years, the subsequent clean passes over the last twelve months suggest that the owner has addressed identified faults and maintained the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 8,875 miles, while a further 5,542 miles were recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This variation in usage suggests regular driving rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and brake assemblies. The annual testing interval reflects a proactive approach to vehicle compliance despite the historical failures. A buyer should focus inspection on the specific causes of the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the provided data summary does not detail the specific mechanical faults that triggered them. Given the age of the C4, a physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these are common points of wear on this model at 90,000 miles. One should also examine the brake discs for excessive corrosion or thinning rust on the exhaust system to ensure that the recent clean MOT results are not masking underlying degradation that will require attention shortly.
