2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LD14 LLM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 31 March 2026, though the presence of multiple advisories suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The history reveals a fluctuating trend, notably a failure in April 2025 due to critical ABS and Electronic Stability Control faults. While these were rectified promptly to achieve a pass, the recurring nature of brake and tyre advisories indicates that consumables are often run to their legal limit before replacement, which is a pattern a buyer should carefully consider. With a recorded mileage of 134,159 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,180 miles per year. This is consistent with typical UK usage and suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle. However, at this mileage, the vehicle has entered a phase where major wear and tear components, such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and drivetrain peripherals, are likely to require attention if they have not already been replaced as part of a comprehensive service history. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition. The most recent test highlights thin front inner brake pads and worn front tyres, while previous records mention pitted rear discs and thin rear pads. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or squealing from the brakes and feel for shuddering under deceleration, which could indicate warped discs or uneven pad wear. The mention of worn tyre edges suggests potential tracking or alignment issues; inspect the tread depth across the full width of the tyre and check for uneven wear patterns that would necessitate a four wheel alignment. Further inspection is required regarding the suspension and cooling system. Past advisories for reduced damping in the front shock absorbers and deteriorated anti roll bar linkage dust covers suggest the chassis may feel loose or produce clunking noises when traversing uneven surfaces. Ensure the coolant level is verified and check for signs of leaks or contamination, given the previous advisory for low coolant. Finally, verify that the ABS and ESC warning lights remain off during operation, as the 2025 failure indicates a history of electronic faults in these critical safety systems.
