2008 Citroen C4 1.7L Petrol · FE08 EYV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 31 May 2025 at 88,757 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a stable trend of mechanical compliance over the last four years. This suggests a disciplined maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed minor wear and tear issues before they could trigger a test failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2022 at 58,439 miles and June 2024 at 75,623 miles, covering over 17,000 miles in just two years. However, usage has since slowed back down, with only 13,134 miles recorded in the final year. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. A buyer must specifically check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or weeping, as these perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the car, brake lines should be inspected for corrosion and the chassis should be checked for structural rust to ensure the integrity of the vehicle has not been compromised by environmental factors.
