2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · CY14 LPJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in April 2026 at 119,942 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a retest. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed its initial presentation but passed upon a subsequent inspection within days at the exact same mileage. This suggests the previous owner prioritised urgent repairs only when prompted by a legal failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 11,852 miles, indicating a period of higher usage during that interval. The subsequent 11,248 miles covered between February 2025 and April 2026 maintain this standard annual run. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular wear and tear cycles rather than extreme stress or long periods of sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to cause the recent test failures, as the official record does not specify the exact defects that were rectified. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, wish arm mounts, and coil springs is essential to identify any perished rubber or fractured metal. Also inspect the brake system for uneven pad wear and the exhaust system for corrosion, as these are common points of structural integrity degradation on this model. The lack of advisories on the most recent pass suggests the vehicle is currently compliant, but the recurring failures highlight that components are frequently nearing the end of their service life.
