2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · CE65 AXT

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a pass on March 27, 2026. However, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test only to pass a follow-up inspection less than a week later. This trend suggests that specific defects are being addressed only in response to an MOT failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. The overall mechanical state of the vehicle remains reactive rather than proactive. At 11 years old, the vehicle has covered 49,313 miles, representing an annual average of approximately 4,483 miles. This low mileage is significantly lower than the national average, which typically implies less wear on high-friction drivetrain and engine components. Conversely, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown during long periods of inactivity. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2024 and 2026, though the mileage increments between these specific dates appear minimal. A buyer must investigate the specific reasons that caused the failures in March 2025 and March 2026, as the provided data does not list the defect codes. Given the low usage and age, a physical inspection should focus on perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and tyre sidewall cracking which often occur with age rather than mileage. Check for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody components, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust if not stored externally. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
