2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LD61 DVZ

The most recent MOT on 22 October 2025 passed with multiple advisories, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy but not in pristine condition; recurring suspension play, oil misting in all shock absorbers, reduced damping, and a tyre worn close to the legal limit reveal ongoing mechanical wear that has not improved since earlier tests. The mileage record shows a steady increase from 60,012 mi in 2017 to 133,292 mi in 2025, averaging about 8,900 mi per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 15‑year‑old car; there are no extended periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect, and the acceleration in mileage after 2022 reflects normal wear rather than sudden high‑stress operation. A buyer should inspect the suspension components—ball joints, track rod ends, anti‑roll bar linkage and shock absorbers—for play, leakage or worn bushes, as these items have repeatedly appeared across multiple tests; examine the brake discs, especially the offside front disc flagged as seriously weakened in 2023, for pitting, scoring or structural compromise; verify tyre tread depth and condition, noting the persistent wear near legal limits; and check for structural rust on chassis rails and suspension mounting points, given the recurring corrosion advisories on the rear direction indicators.
