2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LR16 EDF

The 2016 Citroen C4 has a recent MOT failure dated 2026-02-09, recorded at 30,825 miles. This entry lists two issues: a split or insecure offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, which allows dirt ingress, and a rear brake disc that is worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. A separate MOT entry on the same date shows the vehicle passed, suggesting the brake disc issue may have been addressed or was non-critical. However, the drive shaft boot defect persisted, indicating a recurring mechanical concern. A prior MOT failure on 2025-02-12, also at 26,976 miles, recorded the same drive shaft boot issue. This repetition implies a potential lack of maintenance or ongoing wear in this component. The 2024-03-13 MOT noted a nearside rear tyre with minor damage or perishing, which could reflect under-use or storage conditions. No other defects were recorded in the 2025-02-12 passed MOT, but the 2024-03-13 entry highlights a separate, less urgent issue. The vehicle’s mileage of 30,825 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 3,082 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could suggest light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to component degradation (e.g., tyres, drive shaft boots) despite lower overall wear.
