2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · DF64 DYD

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance trend showing signs of worsening structural and mechanical integrity. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 115,628 miles, it had failed just prior due to an inoperative registration lamp, incorrect headlamp alignment, and persistent leaks. The presence of corrosion on the rear axle and brake hoses suggests that while immediate safety defects are being addressed, the underlying structural components are beginning to degrade at a rate that requires close monitoring. At 115,628 miles, the car has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual usage. However, there is a significant gap in mileage data between December 2023 (85,881 miles) and May 2026 (115,628 miles), where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in a relatively short period. This increased use correlates with the frequency of failures related to wear and tear components, such as brakes and exhaust systems, noted during this interval. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody, specifically focusing on the corrosion noted on the rear axle and brake hoses. The history reveals a recurring oil leak from the engine and gearbox area, which has been flagged in 2022, 2024, and 2026, indicating a long-term issue that has not been fully rectified. Furthermore, the history of imbalanced brakes, thin pads, and uneven tyre wear suggests that the suspension or braking geometry may be out of alignment, necessitating a professional assessment to ensure no further mechanical faults are present.
