2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · HW65 FTY

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 at 77,681 miles, recording a Pass despite front‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit. Recurring defects – notably a loose front exhaust silencer, a defective rear exhaust mounting and repeated carbon‑monoxide excesses in 2022, 2023 and 2024 – have been flagged each year, yet the latest test shows none of those emissions failures. The pattern suggests a generally stable roadworthiness status, with the principal concerns largely confined to consumables and minor exhaust fittings rather than structural deterioration. Across an eleven‑year span the car has accumulated 77,681 miles, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per annum – a mileage rate typical for a family saloon of this age. The mileage log progresses smoothly from 21,283 miles in August 2018 to 70,562 miles in August 2024, showing no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. This consistency implies regular, moderate use and no evidence of excessive wear that would accelerate component fatigue beyond normal expectations. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system, confirming that the front silencer is securely fitted and the rear mounting is free of corrosion or cracks. An on‑road emission test will reveal whether the underlying cause of past CO failures has been remedied. The oil leak noted repeatedly since 2022 warrants localisation and repair before it can become a more serious issue. Front tyre tread is already near the legal minimum; inspection of the remaining tyre life and replacement of the front tyres are advisable. Headlamp alignment should be checked, as aim was recorded too low on both sides in 2023 and 2024. Finally, the 2019 note on thin front brake pads suggests the braking system may soon require pad renewal, and a visual check of suspension bushes and wheel bearings will ensure no hidden wear has developed.
