2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · PN58 OMG

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, with the most recent test on 15 September 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 18 August 2025. The trend lacks stability, as the vehicle has failed two separate tests within a two-year period, specifically in August 2024 and August 2025. While the most recent result is clean, the recurring failures suggest intermittent issues with roadworthiness that require closer scrutiny. The recorded mileage of 123,493 miles over approximately 18 years averages to roughly 6,861 miles per year. This represents a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records show annual testing, though the proximity of the failures to the pass dates in both 2024 and 2025 indicates that the vehicle required remedial work shortly before being cleared for road use. No significant gaps in testing appear between 2023 and 2025. Because the MOT records for the failures in August 2024 and August 2025 do not specify the exact nature of the defects, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the underlying cause of these failures. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and check the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear. Given the vehicle's age, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is also a priority. The absence of advisories in the most recent 2025 test suggests that the previous failures were addressed, but the lack of detailed defect data in the history means the specific mechanical components that failed remain unknown. An inspection of the exhaust system and tyre tread depths would also be prudent to ensure no recurring consumables are approaching the legal limit. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
