2008 Citroen C4 1.8L Petrol · EA08 LUJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the clean result of its most recent inspection. Following a period of mechanical concern in March 2023 at 167,085 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were likely addressed. However, because the last MOT was conducted over three years ago relative to the current date, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and requires an immediate re-test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age profile, averaging approximately 9,282 miles per year. Between March 2020 and March 2023, the car covered 35,151 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 11,700 miles annually. The interval between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows an accumulation of 13,768 miles, which suggests the vehicle was used regularly rather than sitting stationary, contributing to standard wear on drivetrain and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the March 2020 failure revealed multiple issues with suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the high mileage increases the likelihood of recurring play in perished rubber bushings or worn ball joints. The 2020 failure regarding an inoperative engine management indicator light suggests a past history of electronic faults that should be verified via a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the system.
