2010 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · MF10 FZS

The most recent MOT was in August 2023, where the vehicle passed with a slight exhaust leak. However, as today is June 2026, the car has no recorded MOT for nearly three years, which is a significant concern regarding its current roadworthiness. There is a clear pattern of mechanical deterioration appearing in the later records. In August 2023, the vehicle failed due to several serious defects, including an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and a Macpherson strut top bush with excessive wear or free play. Both front drive shaft CV boots were also split, and an oil leak was noted. The condition trend looks to be worsening. The vehicle had clean passes in 2020 and 2021, but by 2022 it showed tyre wear and electrical faults, culminating in the multiple suspension and drivetrain failures of 2023. The recorded mileage of 121,646 miles is typical for a sixteen-year-old car. This suggests a normal level of wear on consumables, but the specific defects found in 2023 indicate that the front-end suspension and rubber boots had reached a point of failure. The most important checks are to confirm the current MOT status and carefully inspect the front suspension components, the condition of the CV boots, and the engine for any active oil leaks.
