2012 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CE62 VCC

The most recent MOT test on 29 May 2025 at 87,162 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows an immediate prior fail on the same date at 87,160 miles, though the DVSA record does not list the reason for that initial refusal. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle achieving passes in 2023 and 2024 after similar patterns of failing and then passing within a day. The absence of any listed advisories or defects across the entire five-year test history suggests a car that has been kept in consistently sound mechanical order, with no developing structural or component weaknesses flagged by testers. The mileage record shows a steady and moderate accumulation pattern. Between the May 2023 test at 70,188 miles and the May 2024 test at 80,349 miles, the vehicle covered 10,161 miles in a year. The following year, to the May 2025 test at 87,162 miles, the distance travelled dropped to 6,813 miles. This recent reduction in annual mileage is unremarkable and the overall average of roughly 6,200 miles per year aligns with a vehicle used for typical private motoring rather than sustained high-mileage work. There are no large gaps in the test history to suggest periods of extended disuse. A buyer should verify the reason for the May 2025 pre-test failure, as the blank defect field in the DVSA record is unusual and the fault was clearly rectified immediately. During a physical inspection, check for any evidence of recent component replacement that might explain that sequence. The entirely clean MOT history means no specific mechanical weaknesses are signposted by the data, so a standard used-car assessment of the clutch, timing belt replacement history, and suspension condition remains essential for a vehicle of this age. The absence of any corrosion advisories is a positive sign, but a direct inspection of the underside and structural points is still warranted given the car is now fourteen years old.
