2008 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · PL08 LJE

The current roadworthiness status of this Citroen C4 is supported by a clean pass recorded on 2025-04-24 at an unspecified mileage. This follows a clean pass on 2024-08-08 and an earlier failure on 2024-08-07, as well as a clean pass on 2023-08-09 preceded by a failure on 2023-08-08. Because the official records omit the specific defect descriptions for both the August 2023 and August 2024 failures, the maintenance trend shows recurring administrative test failures immediately corrected within twenty-four hours, alongside passes devoid of advisory notes. The vehicle accumulates mileage at a very low rate, registering 61,515 miles across its eighteen-year lifespan, which averages out to approximately 3,418 miles per year. The MOT data shows consistent annual testing from August 2023 through April 2025, reflecting a shift to earlier spring testing in the final recorded check. This low annual usage pattern means the mechanical components experience limited active wear, though prolonged periods of inactivity can still degrade rubber suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls. A physical inspection must prioritize underlying mechanical components that suffer from low usage and age-related perishing. Without specific advisory notes on the recent passes, a buyer should thoroughly examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, inspect the coil springs and suspension arms for structural degradation, and check the condition of all fluid lines. Evaluating the exhaust emissions and structural integrity on a ramp will confirm whether the unblemished test results reflect genuine roadworthiness or simply superficial compliance.
