2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · HW63 DKY

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 76,499 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement after a period of inconsistent upkeep between 2021 and 2024. During those years, the vehicle frequently failed on preventable issues, including SRS warning lamp faults and tyre tread depth violations. The most recent results suggest that the previous recurring mechanical and consumable issues have been addressed. The mileage profile indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,885 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The recorded data shows steady, incremental growth, with the distance increasing from 40,815 miles in October 2019 to 76,499 miles in September 2025. This low-mileage pattern often suggests less frequent wear on drivetrain components but can lead to neglected maintenance of consumables if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus on the supplementary restraint system, as the SRS warning lamp appeared as a recurring failure in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. While the 2025 test was clear, any persistent airbag or seatbelt sensor faults require professional electronic diagnosis. The history also shows frequent issues with tyres being worn on edges or below legal limits, alongside thin brake pads noted in 2017 and 2024. Physical inspection of the tyre tread, wheel alignment, and brake pad thickness is necessary to ensure the current standard of care is maintained. The suspension history includes failures regarding anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers in July 2023. Although no recent suspension defects appear in the 2025 record, the tendency for uneven tyre wear suggests the buyer should check for worn suspension bushes or misaligned geometry. The presence of child seats frequently obstructed the tester's ability to inspect rear seatbelts in several years, so a manual check of the rear restraint integrity is advised.
