2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · FY07 USN

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failure in its most recent MOT test. While the latest recorded entry on 27 January 2026 at 102,629 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed in the summary, it follows a consistent pattern of reactive maintenance where the car passes only after a re-test following initial fails in two previous consecutive years. This trend suggests a history where faults are only addressed to satisfy legal requirements rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 88,823 miles in January 2024 to 96,108 miles in January 2025, and reaching 102,629 miles by early 2026. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses often lead to age-related degradation, such as perished rubber seals, seized sensors, and accelerated surface corrosion on brake components and exhaust sections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension to account for the lack of recorded advisories which may mask developing issues. Focus on structural integrity around the sills and rear wheel arches where corrosion is common for this specific era of Citroen. Given the recurring failures prior to passing, the inspector should specifically check for binding brake calipers, worn suspension bushes, and leaks in the system, as these components are frequently the cause of the MOT failures seen in this vehicle's history.
