2013 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · NX13 PLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 72,235 miles passed, the tester flagged a worn offside front tyre and a defect on the offside front lower suspension arm bush. This suspension issue was also noted during the January 2025 test at 65,100 miles, suggesting that the component is degrading slowly without being replaced despite repeated warnings. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,235 miles represents an average of approximately 5,557 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the car has seen light use, but it also increases age-related degradation of rubber-based components. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered over 9,000 miles, which resulted in a failure due to illegal tyre depths and worn track rod ends. The subsequent 7,135 miles covered up to the 2026 test shows consistent, low annual mileage intervals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, specifically targeting the lower control arm bushes which have appeared as an advisory for two consecutive years. The failure in 2025 due to excessive play in both track rod ends indicates that steering components are being neglected until they reach a failure state. Additionally, since the front brake discs were noted as worn in early 2025, they are likely nearing the end of their service life now. The offside front tyre was at the legal limit as of early 2026 and requires immediate replacement.
