2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LC08 NLR

The 2008 Citroen C4’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 at 94,480 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this test predates the current date by 11 months, meaning the vehicle has not been retested since. Previous entries show repeated failures in August 2025 and 2024, though no defects were logged, suggesting potential unresolved issues or inconsistent testing. The lack of recorded faults in the latest test does not confirm mechanical stability, as the vehicle’s compliance status is now uncertain. The car’s mileage of 94,480 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 5,249 miles annually, a low figure that may indicate infrequent use or prolonged inactivity. Between 2024-08-12 (88,258 miles) and 2025-08-29 (94,480 miles), the odometer increased by 6,222 miles over 12 months, aligning with the average. However, the absence of defects in all tests, despite multiple failures, raises questions about the accuracy of the records or the nature of the issues addressed. The sparse data offers limited insight into long-term maintenance trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or corrosion, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body panels, should also be assessed for rust, given the low mileage and potential for environmental exposure. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as the most recent test is outdated.
