2016 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · ND16 BCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 69,418 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent period of instability. After two clean passes in 2024 and early 2025, the car suffered two consecutive failures in January and February of 2026. While it ultimately passed the latest test, the rapid succession of failures within a two-month window suggests a specific mechanical or equipment issue required immediate attention to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 60,354 miles and the January 2025 test at 64,177 miles, the vehicle covered 3,823 miles in seven months. The subsequent gap of 5,241 miles leading into the early 2026 tests indicates steady, low-intensity usage pattern. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can occasionally lead to issues such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Because the provided record does not list specific defects for the two 2026 failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection to identify what caused the rejections. Focus on the suspension system for signs of worn bushes or leaking shock absorbers, as these are common points of failure on this model at this age. Given the age of the Citroen C4, a close check of the structural integrity of the sills and the condition of the exhaust system is also essential to ensure that the recent failures did not indicate deeper structural corrosion that is beginning to manifest.
