2006 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · GP06 OCZ

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend following a period of recurring minor defects. The most recent MOT test in August 2022 at 101,566 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a history of intermittent failures related to lighting, tyres, and exhaust security, but the absence of advisories or failures in the final recorded test suggests that the previous issues were addressed and the vehicle was in a roadworthy state at that time. The car has covered 101,566 miles over approximately twenty years, averaging roughly 5,078 miles per year. This represents low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing from 2012 through 2022, though there is a notable gap in the official record between August 2022 and the current date in July 2026. This four-year lapse means the current MOT status is expired, and the vehicle's mechanical condition cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The 2018 test at 92,559 miles flagged a parking brake efficiency below 50% and pitted brake discs, while the 2014 test identified excessive play in an offside front suspension arm ball joint. Although these specific faults were cleared in subsequent tests, the recurring nature of tyre wear and braking issues suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The exhaust system also requires scrutiny. The September 2020 test at 96,977 miles recorded an insecure central rear exhaust system and poor exhaust condition. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, a buyer should check for structural corrosion on the underside and ensure that the recent period of inactivity has not led to seized components or perished rubber bushes.
