2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · FT13 TFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 3, 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive trend where faults are only addressed immediately prior to an MOT failure. The most recent test just one day prior to the pass failed due to a major leak in the front exhaust flexi-pipe and an insecure rear exhaust system. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of exhaust system failures suggests the owner relies on minimum compliance rather than preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,381 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 3,645 miles per year. The usage pattern appears remarkably consistent, with roughly 3,800 miles driven between June 2024 and 2025, and another 3,800 miles covered between June 2025 and 2026. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, it often increases risks to rubber-based components and seals due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should personally inspect the exhaust system thoroughly to ensure the recently repaired flexi-pipe and mounts are secure and free of rapid corrosion. The failure in June 2025 regarding a nearside front tyre with exposed cords and an offside tyre with insufficient tread indicates a past neglect of basic safety consumables. Given the low mileage and high age, a physical check for cracking in tyre sidewalls, perished suspension bushes, and leaking hoses is essential, as these parts degrade through age and dry rot rather than mileage-driven wear.
