2015 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · KV15 OSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend in preventative maintenance. While it passed the test in February 2026 at 61,476 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior at 61,472 miles. The recurrence of the stop lamp fault and the persistence of mechanical issues like deteriorated c/v boots and thinning brake pads suggest that the owner is only performing the minimum requirements to pass inspections rather than addressing underlying mechanical wear. At 61,476 miles, this 11-year-old Citroen shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low mileage explains the significant surface corrosion noted on the rear brake discs in both 2025 and 2026, as the vehicle likely sits stationary long enough for rust to accumulate on unprotected metal. However, the gap of 7,500 miles between January 2024 and 2025 shows a period where age-related degradation of rubber components and tyres becomes evident despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically, as the c/v boots were flagged as deteriorated in the two most recent tests. If not replaced, the grease will escape leading to drive joint failure and expensive drivetrain repairs. The record of front tyres being bald on edges and the offside front wearing uneven in 2025 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn geometry that requires professional attention. Additionally, the oil leak noted in 2024 should be visually verified to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak during the subsequent two years of use.
