2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · MT64 TRZ

The maintenance trend for this 2014 Citroen C4 is stable and currently reflects a sound state of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 50,090 miles passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle meets all current MOT standards. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests, suggesting the previous owner has kept the car in good mechanical order without recurring faults. The vehicle's age and recorded mileage present an unusual usage pattern. At roughly 12 years old with 50,090 miles, the annual average sits at just over 4,000 miles, which is exceptionally low. Looking closer at the chronology, the car covered only 2,808 miles between the November 2023 test at 39,558 miles and the November 2024 test at 42,366 miles. However, the subsequent twelve months saw a sharp increase of 7,724 miles, reaching 50,090 miles by November 2025. This sudden uptick in usage could indicate a change in ownership or a shift from prolonged standing to regular daily driving. A peculiar anomaly exists within the DVSA record that warrants attention. Both the 2023 test on 17 November at 39,558 miles and the 2024 test on 5 November at 42,350 miles show a failed outcome yet list no defects. This typically points to an incomplete test, a procedural error, or a failure to present the vehicle for the full inspection rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent retests on the exact same day in 2023 and a week later in 2024 both passed cleanly, confirming no underlying mechanical issues caused these administrative failures. Given the historically low mileage and the recent spike in usage, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to deterioration from standing still. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber may be perishing rather than wearing out. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for any signs of binding, which commonly affects vehicles that sit unused for long periods. Examine the suspension bushes and dampers for deterioration, as low-mileage cars often suffer from dried-out rubber rather than mechanical wear. The abrupt increase in annual mileage also justifies a thorough check of the exhaust system and engine mounts to ensure the sudden increase in use has not disturbed older, brittle components.
