2019 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · FM19 LDY

The 2019 Citroen C4 presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 31 May 2025 at 26,074 miles. As of July 2026, the vehicle is approaching its next test anniversary, meaning the current mileage will have inevitably increased slightly since that last check. The record shows a dual test on 31 May 2025—an initial failure followed by a pass at the identical mileage—though no specific defects were recorded for either outcome, suggesting a minor administrative or sensor anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the documented history, the vehicle has consistently passed without any advisories or defects, indicating diligent upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical issues. This pattern reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to a roadworthy standard without significant deterioration. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. Recording 9,299 miles in May 2022, 14,852 miles in June 2023, 20,435 miles in May 2024, and 26,074 miles in May 2025, the car has covered roughly 5,500 to 5,600 miles annually over the last three years. When calculated from the 2019 registration date to the current date, the average drops to approximately 3,725 miles per year, confirming low-mileage, likely short-journey or sporadic use. Such low annual mileage prevents the high wear typically seen on consumables and drivetrain components, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce specific age-related degradation. Despite the absence of flagged defects in the MOT record, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to age-related deterioration rather than mileage wear. The low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, making it vital to check the condition of rubber suspension bushes, which can perish and crack regardless of distance traveled. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking and date codes, as original or early replacement rubber will be approaching the end of its safe service life. Brake discs and calipers require a thorough inspection for surface corrosion and binding, common issues when a car is left standing or used only for short trips that prevent pads from wiping rotors clean. A physical inspection of the underbody and subframes will confirm the structural integrity remains unaffected by corrosion.
