2009 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · DA09 KTP

The 2009 Citroen C4 presents a stable and consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 28 October 2024 at 153,096 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all structural and mechanical safety standards at its most recent assessment. This unbroken sequence of passes over the last four years suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a reliable standard, addressing any minor wear items before they escalated into failures. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably steady, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year between tests. Between the November 2021 test at 150,019 miles and the October 2024 test at 153,096 miles, the car covered just over 3,000 miles across three years. This low-mileage profile points to light, local use rather than long-distance commuting. Although the MOT history is sparse, spanning only four consecutive years, the consistent pass rate and steady odometer readings imply the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear or prolonged periods of neglect. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a 17-year-old vehicle with this mileage. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from deterioration caused by standing still, so examine the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface rust, which can cause binding if the car sits unused for extended periods. Check the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as age-related rust can develop regardless of mileage. Finally, assess the tyre tread depth and sidewalls, as older rubber may show cracking even if the tread appears legal.
