2009 Citroen C4 1.4L Petrol · FL59 PYF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-21 at 100,484 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, prior tests in 2025-03-20 and 2024-03-21 showed failures without recorded defects, suggesting potential administrative or technical inconsistencies. The absence of mechanical issues in the latest test implies the car has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the recurring failures without explanation raise questions about the reliability of the MOT process for this model. The mileage history reveals a significant anomaly: a 2023-03-23 test at 153,046 miles, which exceeds the current 100,484 miles by over 50,000 miles. This discrepancy could indicate a rolled-back odometer, data entry error, or unrecorded service history. At 17 years old, the vehicle’s current mileage of 100,484 miles is unusually low, averaging 5,911 miles annually. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may have led to component degradation not captured in the MOT records. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs does not preclude the need for a detailed brake inspection, as corrosion or binding calipers could go undetected. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as low mileage may not reflect long-term exposure to road salt or environmental factors. The lack of recurring faults in the MOT history is positive, but the irregular mileage data warrants further scrutiny.
