2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KM15 EDC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 47,640 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful retest in September 2024 where the tester flagged thin front brake pads. The record shows a clear trend of resolving previous mechanical issues, moving from a significant failure in September 2023 to a defect-free status in the latest inspection. The mileage pattern indicates very low usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,331 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, such as the 2,178-mile increase between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests. While low mileage reduces general drivetrain wear, the intermittent presence of tyre and brake issues suggests the vehicle may spend extended periods stationary or is driven in short, low-speed urban cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The September 2023 failure highlighted binding rear service brakes and excessive smoke emissions from the turbocharged engine, which required rectification. Although the 2025 test was clean, the history of tyres being worn on the edges in 2018, 2020, and 2023 suggests potential underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension component wear, such as worn bushes or ball joints. The recurring mentions of pitted or scored brake discs and thin pads across multiple years indicate that while consumables are being replaced, the owner should verify the current thickness and condition of all pads and discs. Given the low annual mileage, check for any signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system that can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear moisture.
