2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LS11 TXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While it passed the March 2026 test at 109,265 miles, it had failed a test just five days prior. This failure was due to both the nearside front and offside rear coil springs being fractured, alongside a noted oil leak. The presence of a non-excessive oil leak across the two most recent tests suggests a persistent issue that requires monitoring to prevent future escalation. At 109,265 miles, this fifteen-year-old has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent movement, with a 2,527-mile interval between February 2024 and February 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to internal engine seal issues, though the overall age means that rubber components and suspension parts are nearing the end of their service life. A buyer should inspect the suspension system closely, as the simultaneous failure of two coil springs indicates the components may be reaching the end of their structural integrity. The 2025 advisory regarding front inner tyres being worn on the edge points to a potential alignment issue or worn control arm bushes that should be mechanically verified. Furthermore, the recurring oil leak noted in early 2026 should be identified by source to ensure it is merely a minor gasket leak rather than a more significant engine seal failure.
