2019 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · NU69 KXZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in February 2026 at 33,435 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent instability evidenced by a mechanical failure just three days prior to that test. The tester identified excessive wear on the offside front inner suspension arm pin and bush. While the car has since rectified this defect to pass, the failure indicates that critical suspension components reached the end of their service life without prior preventative replacement. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,776 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2023 and February 2024, where the car covered only 6,904 miles, followed by a more active period of 14,849 miles over the two years leading to early 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension geometry to ensure the repair to the offside arm was executed correctly and that no adjacent bushes are failing. The 2025 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or uneven camber wear which should be verified against the current tyres. Furthermore, because under-trays prevented a full underbody inspection in both 2023 and 2024, a buyer should request these guards be removed to inspect the chassis for any hidden structural corrosion or impact damage that the tester could not legally access.
