2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · EN07 AHJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-07 at 87,400 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-07-04 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded faults. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 showed stable performance, with no defects noted. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test implies the car met basic roadworthiness standards, though the repeated fails at identical mileages raise questions about testing accuracy or unaddressed underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 87,400 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 4,600 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component degradation such as corrosion or seized mechanisms. The MOT records show no gaps longer than 12 months, but the identical mileage across two 2025 tests—despite a one-day interval—suggests possible data duplication or an unrecorded service. The 2023 test at 77,865 miles and 2024 test at 82,348 miles show gradual increases, aligning with the low annual average. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, as low mileage often correlates with stiff or worn bushes and coil springs. The braking system requires scrutiny for corrosion on discs and calipers, which can occur during inactivity. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust, particularly if the vehicle was stored in damp conditions. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the pattern of repeated tests at the same mileage and low annual usage necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
