2012 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CV12 VBF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 177,266 miles. While the record shows a failure on the same day just one mile prior, the lack of recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue rectified instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The sequence of clean passes back to 2022 indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety standards without recurring structural or major mechanical faults. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 177,266 miles represents a high average of approximately 12,662 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between June 2022 and June 2024, where the car covered 14,247 miles in two years. A more significant spike in usage occurred between June 2024 and October 2025, with 9,880 miles logged in just 16 months. This high annual mileage suggests heavy use, likely motorway driving, which places specific stresses on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to city-driven vehicles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on high-wear components that the MOT does not fully test. Given the high mileage, check the front control arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers for leaks or tearing, as these degrade over time. The brake system should be evaluated for thin discs or binding calipers, as the high mileage often accelerates wear on consumable hardware. Because the vehicle is aging, a close look for corrosion corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is essential to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised despite the clean MOT history.
