2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LB15 NTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in October 2025 at 88,078 miles. The maintenance trend shows a fluctuating pattern where mechanical faults are addressed only after a failure. While the most recent test cleared the worn rear sub-frame pin or bush, the previous failure just two days prior indicates that the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and wiper blade were recently replaced. This suggests the owner reacts to testing requirements rather than performing preventative maintenance, though the immediate safety concerns raised have been rectified. At 88,078 miles, the 2015 vehicle has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family car of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 4,700 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The history reveals recurring issues with steering and suspension components, including a track rod end with play at 83,364 miles and a failed lower arm ball joint at 88,078 miles. These faults indicate that the front end is reaching the end of its service life. Furthermore, the advisory regarding the rear sub-frame pin or bush in the 2025 test warrants a close look for structural corrosion or accelerated wear on the mounting points, as these areas are prone to significant failure on Citroen models if left untreated.
