2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CU13 LBP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 106,457 miles passed, the tester noted perished and low-pressure rear tyres. This follows a trend of neglecting basic consumables until they reach a failure point or advisory threshold. The overall mechanical state appears stable in terms of passing tests, but the recurring nature of minor faults suggests that the owner only addresses issues when prompted by an MOT failure or a safety-critical advisory. At 106,457 miles, this 13-year-old Citroen C4 averages a typical 8,200 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles between the annual tests from 2023 to 2026. Despite this steady usage, the significant failure just four days before the June 2023 test at 93,962 miles indicates a lack of pre-inspection checks, leading to avoidable failures. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with thin pads and worn discs across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The ABS warning lamp recorded in June 2023 requires verification to ensure the sensor or module fault was actually rectified. Additionally, the DPF fluid warning from 2024 suggests potential diesel particulate filter issues that could lead to expensive repairs if not monitored. Given the worn drive belt noted in 2025, the buyer should also check for cracking or tension issues if it has not been replaced recently.
