2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · DA52 SJA

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 77,643 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show a clean advisory profile. The single failure on 23 August 2024 at 73,880 miles was rectified and passed the very next day on 24 August 2024, indicating the fault was minor and promptly corrected rather than a sign of neglect. Recorded mileage sits at 77,643 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 7,764 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows 64,862 miles on 31 August 2023, 61,046 on 24 April 2023, then 73,880 by August 2024 and 77,643 by August 2025. The jump between April and August 2023 of nearly 3,800 miles in four months suggests a period of heavier use, but annual accumulation since has stayed modest at under 4,000 miles per year. The history is sparse on faults, with no advisories logged across any pass, so the record gives little indication of underlying wear being monitored. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle is now ten years old and the MOT recorded no advisories that would flag emerging wear. The clean sheets mean testers found no corrosion or structural concerns, yet absence of advisories on a low-mileage car can mask slowly degrading components not yet at failure limits. The 2024 fail-with-no-defect entry is anomalous and warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason, as a pass with no defects the following day implies either a documentation error or a trivial compliance issue. Otherwise the Citroen shows a consistent, low-stress usage pattern and the current owner appears to have maintained statutory testing without lapse.
