2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · PK16 KXV

The 2016 Citroen C4 presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 21 May 2025 at 79,368 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this occasion, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards. While the record shows a failed test on 1 May 2025 at 79,331 miles, the absence of recorded defects alongside the subsequent pass just 20 days later suggests an administrative anomaly or a rectified minor issue rather than a serious mechanical failure. The overall trajectory remains positive, with no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories appearing across the recorded history. The vehicle has covered 79,368 miles over a decade, averaging roughly 7,937 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical annual usage. Examining the chronological data reveals a steady accumulation of miles. Between the July 2023 test at 63,779 miles and the July 2024 test at 71,929 miles, the car covered 8,150 miles. The following ten months saw a slightly reduced rate of 7,439 miles, taking the odometer to 79,368 miles by May 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in mileage accumulation that would suggest long-term standing or severe neglect. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential, particularly given the vehicle's age and the peculiar failure entries with no listed defects. A buyer should closely examine the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounts, as Citroen C4 models of this era can suffer from corrosion and worn suspension bushes that might not always trigger an MOT failure but affect ride quality. The braking system requires a thorough check; look for uneven wear on the brake discs and inspect the calipers for any signs of binding, which could explain the unlogged May 2025 failure. Tyre condition and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these are common failure points that can deteriorate quickly between tests.
