2009 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FL59 UCC

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 8 October 2025 at 102,148 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 23 September 2022 through to the latest examination, showing no advisories or defects logged at any stage. A failed test on 29 September 2025 at 102,120 miles recorded no defects, with the car passing nine days later, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage averages around 6,000 miles against the vehicle's 2009 build date, a typical use pattern for a 17-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 80,059 miles in September 2022, 88,104 in September 2023, 96,186 in September 2024, and 102,148 by October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence. The clean sheet across five years implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though the absence of advisories does not confirm proactive maintenance of wear items. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 102,148 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet DVSA tests at this mileage rarely capture incipient wear beneath advisories. Check the exhaust emissions system and interrogate the 29 September 2025 failure paperwork to confirm the reason for rejection. Given the sparse but clean history, treat the C4 as mechanically sound on paper with ordinary age-related risk. Verify service intervals independently, as the MOT alone proves roadworthiness, not upkeep quality.
