2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · DN14 ACU

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend following previous mechanical failures. The most recent test on January 13, 2026 at 24,350 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the issues identified in prior years have been addressed, and the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards required for use on the UK road network. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 2,029 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered only 1,328 miles, while it added 1,322 miles in the following year. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also introduces risks associated with long periods of standing. The recorded failures in 2024 and 2025 followed by immediate passes suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying faults despite the low distance driven. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for components affected by long-term storage rather than high mileage. Low mileage often leads to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes, split boots, and wiper blades, which can crack due to lack of movement. The brake system should be checked for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use prevents the pistons from moving freely. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural rust is essential, as metal integrity can degrade over time regardless of how many miles the car has clocked.
