2007 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · MA57 WSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in January 2026 at 131,519 miles, this followed a significant failure just five days prior. That failure required the replacement of both front coil springs and several lighting components. Recurring issues such as a non-excessive oil leak and an insecure battery mount have persisted across multiple testing years, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten to secure an MOT certificate. At 19 years old, the recorded 131,519 miles represent an average of approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 3,000 to 5,000 miles covered between tests from 2023 to 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly enough, though the age of the car contributes to the degradation of rubber components and structural integrity noted in the earlier records. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows a long history of play in ball joints, track rod ends, and steering rack joints. The failure of both coil springs in early 2026 indicates that the suspension geometry is under significant stress or reaching the end of life. Furthermore, the corrosion noted on the nearside front seat belt anchorage in 2023 should be inspected to ensure it has not progressed into a structural failure. The persistent oil leak also requires monitoring to determine if it is a minor gasket weep or a more serious engine seal failure.
