2016 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · GJ16 LRK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently non-roadworthy , as the most recent test in September 2025 failed on the offside front windscreen wiper, resulting in a 3.4 (b) (ii) score. This indicates a significant mechanical deficiency that requires immediate attention and replacement before the next MOT. The maintenance trend appears unstable , evidenced by the two consecutive failed tests in September 2024 and August 2023, which suggest that basic upkeep was not maintained during the ownership period. The mileage pattern is poorly calibrated relative to the vehicle's age, with a gap between the 2025 test and the 2024 test that does not align with the 10-year age of the car. The lack of recorded mileage between these two points indicates that the owner may have driven the vehicle for less than 1,115 miles between these events, or that the vehicle was stationary for extended periods, leading to a lack of wear on consumables like wipers. Given the recurring failure of the offside windscreen wiper, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the front suspension and wheelbase. The lack of any recorded defects in the 2025 and 2023 tests suggests that the primary failure mode has been a consumable component rather than a structural one. A thorough visual inspection is required to check for corrosion on the windscreen wiper arm, the suspension bushings, and the brake discs, as these components are prone to failure under the specific conditions of a failed wiper test.
