2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KP11 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT result in the most recent test on 9 October 2024 at 59,429 miles. This follows a period of minor consumable issues, specifically regarding tyre wear, which appeared in the 2023 test at 56,218 miles. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that previous maintenance requirements have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The mileage history indicates very low annual usage, averaging approximately 3,962 miles per year over the vehicle's 15-year lifespan. The data shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 2,251-mile gap between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized brake components due to inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The record shows a history of brake-related concerns, including a failure in September 2018 for significantly worn front brake discs and an advisory in September 2017 regarding pitted or scored discs. Although the 2024 test was clear, the recurring nature of these issues suggests the braking components may require more frequent monitoring or replacement than a higher-mileage vehicle. Tyre management also warrants scrutiny. The vehicle has a pattern of failing or receiving advisories for worn tyres, notably the October 2019 failure involving three tyres and the 2018 failure regarding the offside front tyre. The tendency for tyres to wear unevenly or reach legal limits suggests the owner may only address these consumables when prompted by an MOT failure. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and evenness of wear is necessary to ensure the suspension geometry remains within specification.
