Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 12 May 2026 at 182,913 miles returned no failures or advisories. This suggests a high level of consistent maintenance or that the current owner is addressing mechanical issues before they trigger inspection failures. The lack of recurring advisories over a five-year period is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an 18-year-old car, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the vehicle covered 11,813 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or heavy annual strain. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests saw 3,151 miles driven, which aligns with typical annual driving cycles. This predictable mileage indicates the drivetrain and suspension components are regularly utilised, which often helps prevent the seal rot and brake seizing seen in stationary vehicles. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of high-wear components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. At the 182,000-mile mark, the front suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for fatigue, as these are common Citroen failure points. The buyer should also look for surface corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a critical depth of decay. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning to ensure the clean-record status reflects the actual state of the braking system.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Citroen C4 (GL08 ABK) between April 2011 and May 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 12 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
