2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · MJ64 YMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deteriorating suspension and wheel components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 101,004 miles showed the car initially failing due to a headlamp aim issue, which was rectified to pass. However, the tester flagged multiple recurring defects including deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, worn suspension arm bushes, and noisy bearings, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 101,004 miles over 12 years, the Citroen averages approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family car. The record shows a significant gap of nearly 12,000 miles between February 2024 and July 2025, following an 18,400-mile interval between early 2022 and early 2024. While the mileage is consistent, the age of the vehicle makes rubber components vulnerable, evidenced by the perishing and cracking noted across these intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar joints have been flagged as worn or deteriorated since 2022. The noisy nearside front wheel bearing has remained an advisory through both 2024 and 2025, which likely requires imminent replacement to avoid mechanical failure. Additionally, the history of uneven tyre wear on the nearside rear indicates a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that should be verified during a test drive to avoid premature tyre replacement.
