2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LD15 XER

The 2026‑01‑08 MOT at 51,063 miles confirms the C4 is roadworthy, with only a worn, pitted rear brake disc and a near‑side rear pad at 2 mm remaining, while the rear service brake shows binding that is not excessive. All earlier tests from 2020 onward record no new defects, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening condition. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 6,245 miles in March 2019 to 51,063 miles in January 2026, averaging about 4,642 miles per year, which is low for an 11‑year‑old car. The 2020‑2021 interval adds roughly 8,000 miles, suggesting occasional use, while the preceding years show steady, modest increases without any sudden jumps. Recurring issues centre on the rear braking system and suspension components: the 2026 test flags a cracked rear bush and worn suspension arm pins on both sides, and the 2025 test notes front tyre edge wear, indicating possible alignment or driving style influences. No structural rust was recorded, but the near‑side obligatory mirror shows glass cracking, a potential indicator of impact or age‑related fatigue. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake disc for deep scoring, test the rear brake for binding under pedal pressure, examine the condition of the rear suspension bushes and arm pins for excessive play, verify tyre tread depth and edge wear patterns, and look for any rust on the chassis or mirror mounting points. Checking the mirror glass for cracks and ensuring the mounting hardware is secure will complete the due‑diligence checklist.
