2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · NV14 HRE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean pass record over the last two years. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 August 2025 at 58,342 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in late 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been well-maintained without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,862 miles per year. Data shows a consistent interval of use, such as the 839 miles driven between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 830 miles recorded between then and August 2025. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long gaps between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The only failure in the provided history occurred on 17 November 2023 at 56,666 miles, yet the vehicle passed a retest just one week later at 56,673 miles, indicating a minor issue that was quickly rectified. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by age and low use rather than mileage. Check the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these perish over time regardless of the distance driven. The brake discs should also be examined for pitting or surface rust, which often occurs on vehicles that are not used frequently. Since the MOT record shows no structural advisories, a physical check of the sills and wing arches remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed over the last decade of service.
