2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · GU65 VMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 85,296 miles passed with only an advisory for thin front brake pads. This mirrors a recurring issue seen in September 2022 at 43,496 miles, where front pads were also flagged. While the car has passed its last three tests, the history suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure or inspection limits. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. There is a clear accumulation of roughly 14,000 miles between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, and another 13,720 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage explains the gradual wear observed on consumable items like tyres and brake components. The data shows regular annual testing with no significant gaps in mileage, suggesting the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The 2023 failure at 57,419 miles highlighted an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage and pitted rear brake discs. While these were likely rectified to pass, the 2022 report of reduced damping in both front shock absorbers suggests the entire suspension assembly may be nearing the end of its functional life. Given the history of sidewall damage and uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2024, the current set of tyres should be checked for alignment issues to ensure the geometry is not causing premature wear.
