2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · DB02 DAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean passes. The most recent test on August 4, 2025, at 72,456 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This represents a significant improvement from the failure in September 2022 for an incorrect nearside rear indicator colour, suggesting the owner addressed the immediate faults and has maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard since. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,574 miles per year. Between September 2022 and August 2025, the car covered only 3,323 miles, indicating very light annual use or potentially long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, low-distance usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts such as bushes and tyres sidewalls or potential corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle is not used regularly. Given the clean MOT history in recent years, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often suffer from environmental weathering. Verify the brake discs for surface pitting or scoring, which frequently occurs when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Additionally, check the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden rust issues despite the clean mechanical record.
