2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · DC14 LCL

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 68,017 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior three successful tests also returned clean sheets. The single failure on 9 June 2023 at 36,875 miles was logged with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, after which the vehicle immediately passed on the same day. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From the 5 August 2022 test at 34,401 miles, the car covered only 2,474 miles to the June 2023 tests at 36,875 miles, then 16,398 miles by May 2024 at 53,273 miles, and a further 14,744 miles by May 2025 at 68,017 miles. The average of roughly 5,668 miles per year suggests light use, though the step up in annual mileage after 2023 shows the car moved from occasional to regular service. No long dormant gaps appear in the record. The absence of any advisories across all five entries means the tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. A clean history of this length is uncommon and implies the previous keepers addressed wear before each test. Low standing mileage earlier in life can still allow perished rubber components or seized calipers to develop unnoticed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion and check the suspension arms and brake calipers for binding after the car's low-mileage period. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition match the clean MOT record. The DVSA data alone shows no recurring faults, but hands-on checks remain sensible on a vehicle of this age.
