2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · GL64 YPD

A pattern of recurring tyre wear and component degradation characterizes this vehicle's recent MOT history, culminating in a failure on 1 December 2025 due to a cut in the offside rear tyre reaching the cords. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on that same date, the record shows a trend of increasing advisories regarding consumables and steering, specifically with the latest report noting slight resistance when operating the power steering. This follows previous issues with brake disc corrosion and pitted surfaces, alongside a recorded advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring in late 2024. The recorded mileage of 48,412 miles over an eleven-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 4,401 miles. This is significantly lower than the UK average, which may suggest infrequent use. From a mechanical standpoint, such low annual mileage can lead to specific issues, such as the perished tyre noted in 2023 or the pitting and scoring observed on the brake discs, as components may undergo more oxidation and surface corrosion when not regularly subjected to the heat and friction of frequent driving. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the steering and suspension during a test drive to address the recent advisory regarding power steering resistance. Listen for any intermittent groaning, whining, or heavy feeling through the steering wheel, particularly when turning at low speeds or when transitioning between lock positions. Given the previous advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring, it is also necessary to check the suspension for any clunking or knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate further degradation of the spring or associated suspension bushes. The history of worn, pitted, or scored brake discs warrants a thorough inspection of the braking system. During a test drive, check for any pedal judder or pulsations when applying the brakes at various speeds, which can be a symptom of uneven disc surfaces. Additionally, since multiple tyres have been flagged as being worn on the edges or close to the legal limit, the alignment of the front and rear axles should be verified to ensure there is no excessive pulling to one side or uneven tread wear that could indicate geometry issues.
