2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · PF15 TEO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 91,492 miles passed with an advisory for thin offside rear brake pads, previous records show a history of failing on avoidable items. The transition from multiple failure faults in April 2024 to a pass in 2025 indicates that mechanical issues are addressed only once they reach the point of legal failure. At 91,492 miles over 11 years, the car averages approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. There is a significant gap in mileage data between March 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered 11,238 miles in just 13 months. This period of higher use correlates with the rapid wear noted in the 2024 test, where all four tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking and several were found at or near the legal limit. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rubber components and suspension system. The 2024 failure for a split offside front CV boot necessitates a check for grease leakage and potential drivetrain damage to prevent joint failure. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for excessively worn front suspension arm bushes and an excessive engine oil leak suggests that the powertrain and chassis are prone to significant wear. You should verify that the previous oil leak was professionally rectified and check the current suspension geometry for signs of renewed weeping or bushing play.
