2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · PK64 WKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 83,095 miles shows the car passing only after a failure involving multiple braking components and lighting. While the immediate safety defects were rectified for the re-test, the recurring nature of thin brake pads and pitted discs suggests that the owner only addresses components once they reach the point of failure rather than following scheduled service intervals. At 83,095 miles over twelve years, the Citroen C4 has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage for its age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025, and another 5,750 miles in the preceding year. This mileage regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and fluid integrity, despite the relatively low annual accumulation. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front drivetrain and suspension, as the December 2024 failure highlighted a split nearside front CV boot. If this was not replaced properly, grit ingress will rapidly destroy the joint, leading to expensive axle failure. The history also notes a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge in 2024, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified against the current tyre condition. The braking system requires specific attention because the December 2025 failure flagged thin pads on both axles and scored front discs. Even with parts replaced, the buyer should check for uneven wear or binding calipers that might have caused the premature pitting. Given the previous failures regarding wiper blades and registration lamps, a thorough electrical check of all external lighting and wipers is necessary to ensure no other minor faults have been overlooked by the previous owner.
