2019 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · NV19 RHJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred preventative care related to low annual usage. The most recent test in July 2025 at 35,892 miles flagged a perishing offside rear tyre and worn/scored offside rear brake discs. While the car passed, the recurring nature of brake corrosion and tyre degradation suggests that the previous owner addresses issues only during MOT inspections rather than replacing components before they deteriorate. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,127 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between July 2022 at 5,196 miles and August 2023 at 11,941 miles, where the car covered nearly 7,000 miles in a year. This low-frequency usage pattern explains the frequent reports of perishing tyres and pitted brake discs, as components that sit stationary are prone to oxidation and rubber rot without being cleared clean by regular use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyres. The 2024 test at 23,022 miles identified all four brake discs as pitted or scored and multiple pads as thin, indicating a total lack of proactive brake service. The buyer should verify if the front discs have been replaced recently or if the calipers are prone to seizing. Additionally, the consistent reports of cracking and perishing across multiple tyres since 2023 suggest the rubber compound may be age-hard regardless of the remaining tread depth.
