2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · CV07 LRN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-03-07 at 89,846 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a fail with no defects, indicating potential data inconsistency. The prior test in 2022-03-14 at 85,564 miles was also a pass with no defects. The lack of recent testing—over three years since the last MOT—raises concerns about the car’s current roadworthiness. No structural, suspension, or braking issues were flagged in the recorded tests, but the absence of updates since 2023 suggests the vehicle may not have been maintained to current standards. The mileage of 89,846 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 4,729 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. Notably, the 2022 and 2023 tests share the same mileage, which is anomalous and may indicate the vehicle was stationary or the records are incomplete. This pattern could suggest prolonged inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion, fluid degradation, or seized components. The sparse MOT history offers limited insight into mechanical trends, but the lack of recent assessments limits confidence in the car’s current condition. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis, suspension bushes, and brake system, as prolonged inactivity may have exacerbated wear. The absence of tyre or brake-related defects in the MOTs does not preclude hidden issues, such as binding calipers or corroded exhaust components, which may require specialist evaluation. Given the extended gap since the last test, verifying the vehicle’s current MOT status and conducting a pre-purchase inspection are critical to identify any undetected faults.
