Our Verdict
Proceed with caution – the car has a solid MOT pass record but recurring tyre and light failures suggest upcoming maintenance. If the price reflects the need for brake and suspension work, it can be a sensible buy for a budget‑conscious driver.
When negotiating, factor in the cost of replacing the nearside rear tyre (noted as worn close to the legal limit in the 2023 MOT) and the front position lamp that failed in the same test. The recurring brake disc advisories from 2021 suggest the discs may soon need resurfacing or replacement, so budget for that work. Ask for a full service history – evidence of regular oil changes and any recent suspension work will help confirm that the corroded front coil spring and slight play in the off‑side front suspension arm have been addressed.
Given the age of the vehicle, look for signs of rust, especially around the front suspension and underbody, as the MOT notes a corroded coil spring. Verify that the rear registration plate has been replaced or repaired, as the 2021 advisory indicated deterioration. Ensure the windscreen washer system has been serviced, since a failure was recorded in 2022. A recent comprehensive inspection by a reputable mechanic will give confidence before purchase.
The 1.8 L petrol engine typically achieves around 40 mpg on mixed driving, translating to roughly £1,200‑£1,400 of fuel per year based on current UK fuel prices and average mileage. Road tax for a 2007 C4 falls into the lower band (around £150 per year), and the insurance group is usually in the mid‑range (group 15‑18), giving an annual premium of about £600‑£800 depending on driver profile.
Maintenance on a car of this age generally includes tyre replacement every 3‑4 years and periodic brake servicing. With the tyre wear advisories noted in multiple MOTs, budgeting £300‑£500 for new tyres and £200‑£300 for brake disc resurfacing or replacement is prudent. Overall, expect total annual running costs in the region of £1,800‑£2,200.
Pay close attention to the tyre condition – the MOT records repeatedly flag the nearside front and rear tyres as being close to the legal limit, and a front tyre tread failure was recorded in 2017. Check tread depth on all four tyres and look for uneven wear that could indicate suspension issues.
Inspect the lighting system thoroughly. The 2023 MOT recorded a failed front position lamp, while earlier tests highlighted a non‑working off‑side rear stop lamp and a headlamp aim that was too high. Verify that all lamps function correctly and that headlamp alignment is within specification.
Examine the front suspension, especially the coil spring on the nearside front (noted as corroded in 2023) and the off‑side front suspension arm (slight play recorded in 2015). Look for any signs of rust, worn bushings, or unusual noises during a test drive, as these components can affect handling and may require replacement.
The 2007 black Citroën C4 with a 1.8 L petrol engine has logged 167,852 miles, which is below the average mileage for a vehicle of its age. Its MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with most inspections passing but several advisory and failure items relating to tyres, brakes and lighting. The car appears mechanically sound overall, yet the pattern of tyre wear and minor suspension advisories indicate wear that will need attention soon. Priced appropriately, it offers a spacious hatchback with decent fuel economy for a 19‑year‑old vehicle.
Specific reliability data for the Citroën C4 is not available, but the MOT history for this vehicle shows typical wear patterns for a car of its age.
