2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · OV13 AEE

This Citroen C4 presents a remarkably stable maintenance trend, having passed its last five MOT tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 173,652 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy and free of immediate safety failures. Such a clean record over a five year period is atypical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is high, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. Between 2 November 2021 and 10 November 2025, the odometer climbed from 133,472 to 173,652 miles. This represents a consistent usage pattern of roughly 10,000 miles annually over the last few years. The lack of any recorded failures during this high-use period suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must account for the mechanical fatigue associated with 173,652 miles. MOT tests are snapshots of safety, not comprehensive mechanical health checks. You should personally inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade under high mileage regardless of whether they have failed a test. Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine and gearbox and verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements. While the DVSA record shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn brake discs or thinning pads. A physical inspection of the underside for surface rust is advised to ensure the chassis integrity matches the clean test results.
