2012 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · GY62 YSG

The 2012 Citroën C4 demonstrates a consistently maintained roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT test on 5 December 2025 confirming a clear pass at 116,158 miles without any defects recorded. This stable trajectory is reinforced by the preceding four annual tests, each passed without issue, indicating no deteriorating mechanical trends. The absence of advisories or failures across the five-year MOT span suggests routine servicing and attention to critical systems such as brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with expected usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The car progressed from 94,377 miles in December 2021 to 116,158 miles in December 2025, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum over the last four years. This rate is slightly below the broader 8,297 miles per year average for its 14-year lifespan, suggesting moderate, consistent use rather than sporadic high-mileage periods or extended storage. The yearly MOT intervals show no significant gaps, with tests conducted within the standard 12-month window each time, supporting the reliability of the mileage records. Prospective buyers should focus on verifying the condition of components not typically subject to MOT scrutiny, such as tyre condition and tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid levels. Given the vehicle’s age, inspection of rubber seals, suspension bushes, and the exhaust system for signs of perishing or corrosion would be prudent. While the MOT history reveals no structural concerns or recurring mechanical faults, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would confirm the absence of hidden wear or prior accident damage, particularly around the undercarriage and door sills where corrosion might develop over time.
