2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · KW15 XTM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 68,199 miles resulted in a pass, the failure just three miles prior indicates a lapse in basic pre-test inspections. The trend appears stable in terms of compliance, yet recurring issues with braking components and tyres suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they trigger an MOT failure. At 11 years old with recorded 68,199 miles, the Citroen C4 has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light-use urban driving or short commuting. The intervals between tests are regular, with a 14,000-mile gap between the August 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 4,000-mile gap between the 2024 and October 2025 tests. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high mechanical stress, but often leads to rubber component degradation and brake corrosion due to longer periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The record shows a binding offside rear caliper and thin nearside rear pads in September 2024, followed by pitted and scored front brake discs in 2025. The inspector should check for continued caliper sticking and ensure the front discs have not reached their minimum thickness despite excessive surface corrosion. The 2025 failure due to tyres being fitted the wrong way around highlights a lack of professional oversight during previous maintenance, necessitating a check of all four tyres for correct orientation and sidewall cracking. The 2024 advisory regarding a cracking nearside rear tyre indicates the rubber is perishing, which is common on low-mileage vehicles despite sufficient tread depth. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the inspection should also evaluate the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often fail from age rather than wear. The noted service light advisory in October 2025 suggests that scheduled service intervals may have been neglected, so a verification of the engine oil condition and fluid levels is essential before purchase.
