2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FP11 GYT

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a successful MOT test in September 2025 at 93,683 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of reactive repairs in 2023 and 2024. The absence of recorded defects in the most recent test indicates that the previous owner addressed the outstanding mechanical and safety-related failures identified in earlier inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. There is a significant jump of 24,901 miles recorded between September 2024 and September 2025, suggesting a recent period of high usage compared to the historical annual average. While the low total mileage generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine-mounted components, this sudden increase in activity may accelerate the degradation of suspension bushings and rubber system components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drive shaft CV boots, as the record shows recurring failures in both 2023 and 2024 for a split offside front boot. Despite the recent pass, checking for grease leakage or perished rubber is essential to ensure the repair was comprehensive. The braking system also warrants attention, as the 2024 failure for pitted and scored brake discs suggests a history of corrosion-related wear, likely exacerbated by periods sitting stationary. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous issues with cracked and structural tyre failure, the current tyres must be inspected for sidewall integrity and uneven wear patterns. The 2023 failure for tyres worn close to the legal limit indicates a previous neglect of basic maintenance schedules. Buyers should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, even though no structural advisories have been flagged in the record to date.
