2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · KV15 OSA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 42,689 miles resulted in an initial failure due to damaged track rod end ball joint dust covers on both front wheels. While the vehicle passed the retest immediately, the recurrence of failures across different systems suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure. At 11 years old, the 2015 Citroen C4 shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,881 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain, yet there is a significant gap of over 8,000 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 10,500 miles leading into the 2026 test. Such periods of sitting can lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion on exposed metal surfaces, which aligns with the suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and braking assembly. The January 2024 failure highlighted worn front suspension arm bushes and imbalanced rear brakes, including a pitted nearside disc and worn pads. Because the 2025 advisory also flagged inner edge wear on the front tyres, there is a likely alignment issue or worn components that have not been fully rectified. You should check for cracking in the rubber bushings and ensure the exhaust system remains securely secured, following the previous failure for an insecure mount.
