2009 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · NJ09 XZX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in October 2023 at 88,195 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that following a single failure in August 2020, the owner successfully maintained the vehicle to meet minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 88,195 miles is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,188 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage patterns, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between August 2021 and September 2022, and another 3,000 miles between late 2022 and 2023. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown due to age rather than use. Given the clean history of the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage, high-age neglect. Inspect the underside for corroded brake lines and perished suspension bushes, as these often dry and crack regardless of distance driven. Check the tyres for age spotting on the sidewalls and verify the structural integrity of the wheel arches and sills, where rust is common on Citroens of this era.
