2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FL16 UXD

The 2016 Citroen C4 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 89,357 miles on 26 August 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. While a failed test appears in the record for 26 August 2023 at 83,620 miles, the absence of recorded defects alongside a same-day pass suggests an administrative anomaly or a minor rectification rather than a significant mechanical fault. The trajectory over the last three years shows consistent compliance, reflecting a vehicle maintained to a roadworthy standard without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 89,357 miles over a ten-year period equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,936 miles, which sits comfortably within typical usage parameters. The mileage progression demonstrates steady, incremental growth: 80,661 miles in August 2022, 83,620 miles in August 2023, 85,993 miles in August 2024, and 89,357 miles in August 2025. This equates to an average yearly increase of approximately 2,900 miles over the last three years, pointing to regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high mileage accumulation. The annual testing pattern aligns perfectly with this steady usage, showing no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in distance covered. Despite the clean MOT record, a decade of use and nearly 90,000 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of typical wear components. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these degrade with age and mileage regardless of test outcomes. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, alongside checking the exhaust system for corrosion or leaking joints. Pay close attention to the vehicle's structural integrity, particularly the sills, subframes, and wheel arches, assessing for any signs of corrosion that might not have warranted an MOT failure but could compromise long-term durability. Verify the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables wear independently of the vehicle's mechanical health.
