2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FP08 WYV

The 2008 Citroen C4 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 13 September 2023 at 89,373 miles returned a pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle met statutory requirements at that point. Given today's date of 8 July 2026, the last examination sits roughly 34 months in the past, so the certificate has lapsed and the car requires fresh testing before road use. Recorded mileages show light use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 82,540 miles on 8 October 2021, then 86,321 miles on 10 October 2022, followed by 89,373 miles on 13 September 2023. That equates to under 3,500 miles per year across those intervals, well below the national average. One anomaly appears in the record: a second entry dated 10 October 2022 shows a pass at 136,695 miles, which conflicts with the 86,321-mile figure on the same day and suggests a DVSA data transcription error rather than genuine accumulation. The clean slate of passes with no advisories indicates previous owners kept the car to minimum test standards, though sparse history limits insight into consumable replacement habits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT file flags no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust faults, yet the Citroen's age leaves it exposed to subframe rust and degraded rubber components that testers may have missed or that developed after September 2023. Check coil springs, track rod ends, and brake disc thickness closely. Given the lapsed test and low annual mileage, suspect prolonged standing periods that accelerate tyre sidewall cracking and flat spots. Verify fluid condition and confirm the conflicting 2022 mileage entry with DVSA to protect against odometer discrepancy.
