2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FL63 WPN

The 2013 Citroen C4 holds a valid MOT certificate following its most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 115,872 miles, where it passed with two minor advisories. The maintenance trend over the last three years is broadly stable, though it reveals a pattern of deferred minor wear rather than proactive servicing. The tester flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, alongside perishing on the nearside front tyre. These are consumable items, yet the record suggests routine checks were not carried out in the lead-up to the test. No structural corrosion, braking faults, or emissions failures have been recorded in recent years, which is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. The car covered 5,007 miles between the March 2024 pass at 100,711 miles and the March 2025 test at 105,718 miles, then added 10,154 miles in the twelve months leading to the March 2026 test. That second interval is slightly above the vehicle's long-term average of roughly 8,913 miles per year, indicating increased recent use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops in the odometer record, and the annual testing pattern has been maintained without interruption since at least 2024. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and drivetrain components. The March 2025 failure recorded on the same day as a pass indicates the offside front outer CV boot was split, allowing dirt ingress into the constant velocity joint, and was subsequently repaired to gain a pass. Both front anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers were also flagged as failed in the March 2024 test for the same reason, suggesting the front end has repeatedly been exposed to contamination risk. These boots and covers are inexpensive to replace individually, but repeated neglect can accelerate wear on the joints and link rods themselves. Inspect the front anti-roll bar links, drop links, and CV joints for play or knocking, and check the inner wing arches and subframe mounting points for corrosion, as Citroen C4 models of this era are susceptible to rust around the front suspension turrets and inner sills. The rear tyre wear pattern noted in the latest test, particularly the edge wear, hints at possible tracking misalignment or worn rear suspension bushes. While no rear suspension defects have been formally flagged, the wear pattern warrants a physical check of the rear beam bushings, trailing arm mounts, and shock absorbers for deterioration. The tyre condition also raises a question about whether the vehicle has been sitting for extended periods, as perishing and edge wear can result from underinflation or prolonged static loading. A thorough test drive over uneven surfaces, combined with a visual inspection of the underbody and suspension components, would provide the clearest picture of the car's mechanical condition beyond what the MOT record alone can reveal.
