2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FX14 KHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 15 May 2026 at 73,084 miles, this followed a significant failure just four days prior. That May-test failure identified multiple critical defects including a weakened front brake disc, thin rear pads, and steering linkage issues. The fact that the vehicle secured a pass immediately after these failures suggests the previous owner only addressed faults once they threatened a legal roadworthiness certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 48,259 miles and February 2025 at 61,757 miles, the car covered 13,498 miles, which is significantly higher than the annual average. However, the low overall mileage often masks issues with rubber components becoming brittle or metal surfaces corroding from sitting, which aligns with the structural and subframe concerns noted in the 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2026 failure flagged play in the nearside front steering linkage ball joint and a likely failing suspension arm bush; these should be verified to ensure they were actually replaced and not merely adjusted. Furthermore, the 2025 record noted corrosion on the rear subframe mounting area. Although not considered excessive at the time, this structural point requires close monitoring in future tests to ensure the rust does not progress to a structural failure, which is a common terminal point for this model.
