2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · LX57 AXM

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a concerning downward trend in maintenance standards. While the 2023-06-10 test at 116,092 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a pattern of multiple failures leading up to that point. The vehicle struggled through several failed tests in early 2023, specifically on 2023-02-06, 2023-06-06, and 2023-06-10, highlighting a struggle to meet basic compliance. The most recent recorded test is over three years old, which is a significant gap that suggests the vehicle may have been off the road or has not been legally tested since June 2023. The mileage accumulation is relatively low for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 6,110 miles per year. Between the 2022-02-08 test at 109,461 miles and the 2023-06-10 test at 116,092 miles, the car covered roughly 6,600 miles. While the usage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle, the lack of recent MOT data relative to the current date of July 2026 is a major red flag. This gap in documentation means the current mechanical state is entirely unverified. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components. The 2023 records repeatedly flagged worn inner suspension arm bushes on both sides and a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot. The history also shows a persistent issue with an oil leak and exhaust emissions exceeding limits in February 2023. These issues, combined with the reported injector chuffing noise in June 2023, suggest potential engine or sealing problems that require professional diagnosis. Braking and tyre maintenance also appear neglected. The tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs, thin rear pads, and several instances of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having cuts. The recurring failure of various lamps and indicators suggests a general lack of basic bulb and electrical upkeep. Given the age and the documented history of suspension and engine-related advisories, a pre-purchase inspection should focus heavily on the integrity of the chassis, the condition of the CV boots, and the source of the recorded oil leak.
