2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KW13 FJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 October 2023 at 119 421 miles recorded a pass and no defects, following two consecutive passes in August 2023 at 117 849 miles. The only recorded failure occurred on 4 August 2022 at 107 444 miles, yet the following test just two days later at 107 475 miles showed a pass, indicating the issue was minor or transient. Overall the car’s recent history shows consistent compliance with MOT standards. Mileage accumulation since 2021 reflects a higher than average usage rate. Between August 2021 (96 210 miles) and August 2023 (117 849 miles) the car added roughly 21 639 miles, averaging about 10 820 miles per year—above the typical 9 186 miles for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The gap between the 2021 test and the first 2022 test is essentially a one‑year interval, after which the mileage jumped by about 11 200 miles in just two days, suggesting the car was driven intensively before the second MOT. The final increase to 119 421 miles in October 2023 added only 1 572 miles over six weeks, indicating a recent slowdown in usage. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as the high mileage and age increase the likelihood of bushing degradation. Examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, given the close‑spaced failure and pass in 2022. Check tyre tread depth and pressure across all four wheels, noting any uneven wear patterns that could stem from the elevated annual mileage. Look for signs of corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches and exhaust brackets, especially where water can pool. Finally, assess the condition of the exhaust system and any visible rust spots on the body panels, as long‑term exposure to UK weather can compromise structural integrity despite clean MOT records.
