2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LD11 KFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of deteriorating suspension and braking-related components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 146,192 miles passed, it carried advisories for worn front and rear brake discs and suspension bushes. This represents a progression of issues first noted in 2023, indicating that these components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require attention to prevent failure. At 146,192 miles, the Citroen C4 has averaged approximately 9,750 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,200 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, and over 7,000 miles between late 2023 and early 2025. The lack of long periods of inactivity suggests the car is used regularly, though the high mileage places significant stress on aging rubber components and metal braking hardware. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as ball joints and bushes have been flagged for play across three consecutive tests. The recurring nature of these suspension faults suggests the previous owner has deferred preventative maintenance, which may have led to uneven tyre wear or handling instability. Furthermore, the pitted and scored discs noted in 2025 and 2026 indicate the braking system is likely thin or corroded, necessitating a replacement of discs and pads to ensure reliable stopping performance.
