Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain stretch and carbon build-upSerious
The turbo petrol shares the usual Prince-engine faults: cold-start chain rattle, cam timing issues and carboned-up intake valves that can make a tidy C4 expensive very quickly.
- EGS / ETG gearbox hesitation and clutch wearModerate
The automated manual gearbox is slow by design, but excessive jerking, slipping or failure to select gears usually means actuator or clutch trouble rather than just old-school calibration.
- Front suspension top-mount and drop-link wearModerate
The C4 rides comfortably, but front top mounts, links and bushes still wear often enough to create the familiar PSA front-end knock.
