2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LD64 MYU

The vehicle presents a stable but consumable-heavy maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 8 June 2026 at 160,346 miles showing a pass despite several advisory items. The tester flagged a nearside rear outer tyre with cracking or perishing walls and front tyres wearing close to the legal limit. While the car has passed its last three annual tests, the recurring nature of tyre-related issues suggests a pattern of running consumables toward the end of their service life rather than proactive replacement. The mileage accumulation is high for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,362 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage, with the mileage increasing steadily from 106,718 miles in November 2017 to 160,346 miles in June 2026. This consistent high-mileage usage explains the frequent wear on mechanical components. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has been in regular, active service throughout its lifespan. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and drivetrain. The MOT history shows a persistent trend of brake wear, with front pads and rear discs being flagged as thin, pitted, or scored in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Although no brake defects were noted in the 2024 or 2025 tests, the long-term history of disc and pad degradation warrants a close check for binding calipers or uneven wear. The 2024 failure due to a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot indicates that rubber components in the drivetrain are subject to fatigue, so any signs of grease leakage or clicking during low-speed turns should be investigated. Tyre condition and suspension integrity also require scrutiny. The recent advisories for perishing sidewalls and edge wear suggest the vehicle may have been driven on under-inflated tyres or has reached the age where rubber degradation becomes a factor. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the vehicle's handling remains stable despite the heavy usage.
