2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · GD14 ACY

The Citroen C4 holds a pass from the 6 June 2025 test at 91,847 miles, but that certificate is now expired given today’s date of 20 July 2026, leaving the car without current valid MOT unless retested since. Across the recorded five-year history the upkeep pattern is stable with no mechanical defects or advisories raised. A curious anomaly appears in the 5 June 2025 test, where the tester issued a fail at 91,823 miles yet logged no defects; the subsequent pass one day later suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a latent fault. The odometer trace shows typical annual use for a twelve-year-old hatchback. From the 24 May 2022 examination at 71,438 miles, distance rose to 79,780 by 24 May 2023, then to 87,383 at the 11 June 2024 test, reflecting yearly additions of 8,342 and 7,603 miles respectively. The final pre-pass reading of 91,823 on 5 June 2025 indicates a reduced accumulation of only 4,440 miles over the preceding twelve months, implying lighter recent use or periods of standing. No significant gaps exist between annual tests, with each certificate obtained within a few weeks of the prior year’s date. Despite the clean defect record, a 2014 Citroen C4 nearing 92,000 miles warrants a hands-on inspection of age-related components that MOT tests may not deeply probe. The buyer should examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering joints for degradation, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation given the low recent mileage may have promoted surface corrosion. Check exhaust emissions and underbody structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes, as twelve years of service can conceal rust not yet at test-failure threshold. The absence of advisories does not negate the need for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment.
