Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a diesel hatchback, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The consistent passing record suggests a vehicle that has met minimum safety standards consistently over the last four years.
When viewing this specific 1.6L diesel C4, your first priority should be to ask the seller exactly why the vehicle failed its MOT on 2025-12-11, just one week before it passed on 2025-12-18. Although the record shows 'no defects recorded' on the pass, the failure itself indicates a component required attention.
Check the service history specifically for oil change intervals, as the 1.6L diesel engines in these models are sensitive to maintenance. Ensure that the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine size as it approaches the 100,000-mile mark.
As a 1.6L diesel, this C4 is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and offering decent fuel economy for long-distance commuting. Tax bands for 2015 diesel models vary based on CO2 emissions, so verify the specific exact band for this registration.
Maintenance costs for Citroen models are generally considered mid-range. Expect typical diesel running costs, including potential future requirements for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) maintenance if the car is used primarily for short urban trips. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the recent MOT discrepancy. Even though the 2025 failure is listed without specific defect text in this summary, you should ask for the original failure certificate to see if it related to tyres, brakes, or lighting.
Given the mileage is now over 93,000, inspect the suspension components and exhaust system for signs of wear or corrosion. Check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks around the 1.6L diesel unit and ensure the turbocharger does not exhibit any unusual whistling or smoke from the exhaust during a test drive.
This 2015 black Citroen C4 features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 93,593 miles as of its most recent MOT in December 2025. The MOT history shows a pattern of annual tests with no recorded defects for most of its recent life, despite one failure in December 2025. While the mileage is climbing, the vehicle has maintained a relatively consistent testing frequency.
