Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Citroen C4 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent DVSA test on 21 June 2025 at 93,772 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Records show a clean three-year arc from the June 2023 pass through to the latest certificate. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year against the 93,772 total. The odometer moved from 82,058 miles at the June 2023 test to 87,104 miles in June 2024, then to 93,772 by June 2025. This equates to around 5,000 and 6,600 miles in the respective twelve-month periods. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps or sudden accumulation suggesting hard use or neglect. The June 2024 and June 2025 entries each show an initial failure with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. Such paired entries typically reflect administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns appear anywhere in the chain. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection given the car is now thirteen years old. Particular attention should go to structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, where age-related corrosion can develop unseen between annual tests. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, and confirm the braking system operates free of binding calipers despite the absence of recorded advisories.
