2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · CF65 GYB

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear despite the low annual mileage. The most recent test in October 2025 at 31,827 miles passed with advisories for per and cracking on the offside front and nearside rear tyres. This indicates that rubber components are failing due to age rather than distance, a common trait in low-use vehicles that sit for extended periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between September 2023 and October 2025, where the car covered nearly 14,000 miles in two years, compared to just 1,092 miles in the year preceding that between 2022 and 2023. This suggests the vehicle has recently transitioned from long storage to more active use, which explains the sudden degradation of components noted in later tests. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering, as the 2024 test flagged play in the offside front track rod end and a severely deteriorated drive shaft CV boot.. These issues often stem from rubber drying out and cracking while the vehicle is stationary. Additionally, the October 2022 record of thin brake pads and pitted discs, alongside a leaking exhaust weld repair, suggests that the braking and exhaust systems are prone to corrosion from inactivity. Verify the current state of the tyres and the structural integrity of the exhaust manifold to ensure previous repairs have not recurred.
