2012 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CX62 VLU

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 June 2025 at 84,106 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 1 July 2024 at 77,662 miles also passed clean. Across the last three successive annual examinations the vehicle has shown no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Mileage data shows light use for a 14-year-old car, averaging around 6,000 miles per year. The odometer read 75,096 miles in August 2022, then 72,373 miles at a failed test on 8 August 2023, before climbing to 78,597 miles three days later on 11 August 2023. That reversal followed by a rapid 6,000-mile gain in days suggests a recording error or a late mileage correction rather than genuine running. From mid-2023 the car added roughly 5,500 miles by July 2024 and a further 6,400 by June 2025, a steady low annual rate. The failed test on 8 August 2023 at 72,373 miles listed no defects, so the refusal likely stemmed from an administrative or identification issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the five-entry history. The absence of flagged wear items means no recurring structural or consumable trend requires warning. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, coil springs, and brake caliper operation given the car's age. The clean MOT record offers reassurance, but DVSA tests do not strip components and a 2012 vehicle can hide perished rubber mounts or early subframe rust unseen at the test bay.
