2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · PL08 LBF

The MOT history for this Citroen C4 shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, with the most recent recorded test on 7 March 2023 resulting in a pass with no defects. This follows a failure on 2 March 2023, though the specific mechanical cause for that failure was not documented in the provided record. The previous year also showed a similar pattern, where a failure on 25 February 2022 preceded a pass on 8 March 2022. While the most recent result is clean, the recurring failures in both 2022 and 2023 suggest the vehicle has struggled to meet minimum standards on its first attempt during consecutive testing cycles. The vehicle has covered 94,923 miles over its 18-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,274 miles per year. This represents low annual usage for a vehicle of this age. However, the MOT records provided only cover the period from February 2022 to March 2023, leaving a significant gap in documented testing history prior to that window. There is no data available to confirm the vehicle's compliance or mechanical state during the preceding years of its operation. Because the specific reasons for the failures in February 2022 and March 2023 are not listed, a physical inspection is necessary to identify potential recurring issues. A buyer should focus on components that frequently cause failures in older Citroen models, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pad wear. Given the low annual mileage, the vehicle may have experienced long periods of inactivity, which can lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or fuel system issues. Checking for underside corrosion and the integrity of the exhaust system is also advised to ensure no structural degradation has occurred during its time on the road.
