2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CY07 LTT

The 2007 Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 July 2024 at 101,357 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also returned passes with clean sheets. The lone failure on 27 June 2022 at 88,809 miles carries no listed defects, indicating a administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven halt. Across the five-year span the vehicle has shown no recurring advisories or escalating wear items. Recorded mileage sits at 101,357 against roughly nineteen years of age, an average of about 5,335 miles per year. The Citroen covered 4,166 miles between the July 2021 test (84,799) and August 2023 (94,965), then 6,392 miles to July 2024. A twelve-month gap separates the 2022 and 2023 tests, with the 2022 failure and immediate pass logged on the same day at identical mileage. Low yearly use suggests light running or periods of storage rather than hard drivetrain wear, though standing time can let seals and brake components stagnate. The clean MOT history gives no tester-flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust faults to chase. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sills for structural rust, check brake disc condition after likely low-use stagnation, and confirm suspension bushes and coil springs show no perishing from age. The same-day 2022 fail with no defects warrants a glance at the VOSA refusal reason to rule out a paperwork issue. Given the sparse but unblemished record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without neglected consumables surfacing. The low mileage and clean tests imply a lightly used car, yet a pre-purchase check remains sensible on a nineteen-year-old Citroen for age-related rubber and metal fatigue not captured by MOT pass criteria.
