2021 Citroen C4 Shine Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · PK71 TTJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 15 May 2026 at 83,251 miles. However, the recent maintenance trend shows a significant inconsistency in recorded data. A failure recorded just one day prior on 14 May 2026 listed 133,913 miles and cited a high exhaust lambda reading outside of specified limits. This discrepancy of over 50,000 miles within a twenty-four hour period suggests a serious data entry error or odometer tampering, which undermines the reliability of the vehicle's documented usage history. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,650 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 50,288 miles and the September 2025 test at 71,527 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles in twelve months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent heavy use, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain and suspension components. The sudden jump in mileage in the May 2026 record remains the primary red flag that requires physical verification against service records to ensure the 83,251-mile figure is accurate. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the drivetrain and braking systems given previous faults. The 2024 failure identified a severely deteriorated front offside drive shaft CV boot, necessitating a check for grease leakage and potential damage to the constant joint. Furthermore, the 2025 test noted worn rear brake discs and a cut offside rear tyre, indicating that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life cycles. Given the high mileage and the reported emissions failure in May 2026, a professional diagnostic scan of the exhaust system and oxygen sensors is essential to ensure no underlying mechanical issues persist despite the recent pass.
