2009 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · OY09 UVM

This Citroen C4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 98,735 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial issue, as no specific defects were listed for either entry. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,808 miles per year over its seventeen year lifespan, which is notably low. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent and light over the last four years. Between the February 2022 test at 96,275 miles and the July 2025 test at 98,735 miles, the car covered only 2,460 miles. This pattern indicates the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary, which often introduces different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade during periods of inactivity. Check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on tyres, and potential seizing of brake calipers or sticking suspension bushes. While the MOT history is remarkably clean with no advisories for corrosion or structural integrity, the age of the chassis makes a thorough inspection for underbody rust essential. Verify the condition of the battery and fluids, as low usage often leads to premature battery failure and moisture buildup in the oil. Ensure the brake discs have not suffered from surface corrosion despite the clean test records. The lack of recorded faults suggests a well-preserved example, provided the low mileage is a result of light use rather than long-term neglect.
