2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · MW15 DRV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT in February 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The immediate failure on 25 February 2026 at 77,897 miles due to an offside rear brake pad worn to 1.1mm and a corroded disc indicates that mechanical faults were rectified only to pass the test. This suggests the owner only addressed braking components once they reached a legal failure threshold. At 11 years old, the Citroen C4 has covered 77,897 miles, representing an average annual of approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 9,101 miles covered between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 5,369 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, though age still affects rubber components and surface corrosion despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive. Given the tester flagged a corroded disc in early 2026, it is vital to check if the caliper pistons are seizing or if the brake line shows pitting. You should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs, as low-mileage cars of this age often suffer from perished rubber components rather than traditional mechanical wear. The 2024 failure regarding the child seat obstruction is a minor administrative issue but highlights that the tester did not have full access to the rear seat area during that visit.
