2010 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · FH59 DDY

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 84,408 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding 7 February 2025 test at 52,698 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 5 February 2025 at 52,698 miles, where the record shows no defects logged; the vehicle passed two days later with identical mileage, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. The mileage pattern is irregular for a 16-year-old vehicle. Annual distances stayed low and consistent from 76,618 miles in January 2023 to 80,212 miles in January 2024, then jumped to 84,408 by January 2026. A sharp anomaly appears between 19 January 2024 (80,212 miles) and 5 February 2025 (52,698 miles), where the odometer reading dropped by 27,514 miles. Such a reversal points to a clocking event, a recording error, or a replacement instrument cluster; the buyer must verify the true distance through service history and V5C before relying on the low average of roughly 5,276 miles per year. No advisories or defects appear across the five tests, so the record gives no direct warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The clean passes suggest the previous keepers addressed consumables before each test. A two-day fail with no defects recorded implies the 2025 rejection was procedural, not a worn component missed on re-test. Given the sparse and clean history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection. Priorities are verifying the mileage discrepancy, checking for undocumented corrosion on sills and subframes, and assessing tyre condition, wiper blades, and underbody integrity that a no-defect MOT does not detail. The low use implied by the figures raises the risk of perished rubber and seized calipers from standing, which a visual test alone may not expose.
