2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · GL64 CYY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 9 December 2025, though it carries an advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre. While the overall maintenance trend has remained stable with consistent passes over the last several years, the historical data indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, particularly regarding consumables. The severe failure in 2019 due to dangerous tyre condition suggests that the vehicle has previously been neglected, although the more recent records show a more disciplined approach to roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 95,021 miles over a twelve year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,918 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a car of this age, meaning it has avoided the risks associated with excessive long-term standing, such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals, while also avoiding the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension associated with high-mileage examples. Mechanical wear is expected to be consistent with a mid-life vehicle, necessitating a focus on the condition of wear-and-tear components. A recurring theme in the MOT history is uneven tyre wear, specifically on the inside edges of the front tyres and periodically on the rear. This strongly suggests a requirement for a four-wheel alignment check and an inspection of the suspension bushes and steering rack for play. Furthermore, the 2024 records highlight deteriorated dust covers on the front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces, as these are classic symptoms of failing anti-roll bar links and worn ball joints. Attention must also be paid to the braking system, as the history shows repeated advisories for thin brake pads and pitted discs. The buyer should check for any brake shudder under deceleration or a spongy pedal feel, which could indicate the need for new discs and pads or a brake fluid flush. Given the vehicle's age, it is essential to verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance, specifically the timing belt and water pump intervals, as these are critical failure points for this engine type regardless of the average annual mileage.
