Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
Before purchasing, you should request evidence of recent repairs to address the failures noted in the January 2026 MOT, specifically the offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and the front brake discs. Given that CV boots have appeared as a failure point in two separate years (2025 and 2026), ensure the driveshafts have been properly inspected for play.
Negotiate the price based on the potential upcoming maintenance requirements. Ask the seller for a service history to complement the MOT records, as the MOT history alone does not confirm if regular oil changes or fluid replacements have been performed on this 2.0L diesel engine.
As a 2.0L diesel, this C4 is likely to sit in a mid-range insurance group and tax band, suitable for higher annual mileage. Fuel economy should be relatively efficient for motorway driving, though maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age often include periodic replacement of suspension components and braking parts.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a 12-year-old diesel, with particular attention needed for the braking system and drivetrain, which have been highlighted in recent MOT tests. An estimated annual running cost would cover fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency for repairs.
Prioritise an inspection of the front drivetrain. The MOT history shows a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot in 2026 and a nearside front outer CV boot failure in 2025. Check for any clicking noises when turning the steering wheel, which could indicate damage to the joints.
Additionally, examine the braking components. The records show a history of worn front brake discs (2026), pitted rear inner discs (2024), and thin rear brake pads (2025). Ensure the braking system feels consistent and that there is no excessive vibration when applying the brakes.
This 2014 black Citroen C4 diesel, currently covering approximately 89,411 miles, shows a pattern of MOT failures related to wear and tear. The recent history includes failures for CV boot issues and brake component wear. While it passed in January 2026, the frequency of advisories and failures suggests a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen C4 model to provide a comparative benchmark.
