2007 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · KV57 AEK

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 130,446 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests from 2023 through 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only anomaly is a failed test logged on 16 July 2024 at 126,320 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage shows light to average use for a 2007 vehicle. From 23 July 2022 at 114,453 miles to 13 July 2023 at 120,729 miles the car covered 6,276 miles, then 5,591 miles to 16 July 2024 at 126,320 miles, and 4,126 miles to the June 2025 test at 130,446 miles. That averages roughly 5,300 miles per year across the recorded span, below the 6,866 miles per year lifetime figure, suggesting gentle use. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across five years. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is nineteen years old. The absence of advisories means the tester found no worn coil springs, binding calipers, or failing brake discs, but MOT pass criteria do not equate to a full mechanical appraisal. Verify the July 2024 fail-with-no-defects entry against DVSA systems to confirm it was a paperwork issue and not a suppressed fault. Check the service history for cambelt and clutch intervention, as neither appears in the test record. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet high-age French hatchbacks commonly develop electrical and hydraulic suspension faults outside MOT scope. Pre-purchase checks should cover steering rack play and DPF condition if diesel.
