2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · EY64 OBK

The vehicle achieved a pass on 15 April 2026 at 67,253 miles, a test conducted just two months ago, though this followed a failure the previous day due to minor rectifications including a registration plate lamp and windscreen wiper faults. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, yet a specific mechanical issue persists. The tester recorded that the number four injector is slightly blowing, a defect present on both the failed and passed certificates, suggesting the owner has deferred this repair despite the vehicle otherwise meeting roadworthiness standards. Usage figures indicate consistent, low annual mileage averaging approximately 5,600 miles. Between the March 2023 test at 52,151 miles and the latest April 2026 check, the odometer increased by roughly 15,000 miles over three years. This accumulation pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy commuting or extended motorway use, which aligns with the wear patterns observed on consumable components rather than catastrophic mechanical failure. Recurring advisories on braking and tyres warrant close scrutiny. In March 2025, the tester flagged front and rear brake pads wearing thin, while the 2024 and 2025 tests both highlighted tyre tread depth and perishing issues. The recent failure for a broken rear exhaust mounting, resolved immediately, points to ageing rubber components. You should specifically verify the condition of the number four injector, as the slight blow recorded in April 2026 could indicate a developing sealing washer issue or injector seat corrosion that may require attention soon.
