2014 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · PO64 WFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards worsening maintenance regarding suspension components. While it passed the test on 24 September 2025 at 138,198 miles, it had actually failed just one day prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The failure of the offside front suspension ball joint and the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, alongside an offside front inner tyre worn to the limit, suggests that the front end artwork is reaching the end of its service life. The' pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. There is a notable period of high usage between September 2023 (90,460 miles) and September 2024 (120,547 miles), representing over 30,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has returned to a more standard rate of roughly 17,600 miles per year. This period of high mileage likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed in the suspension components during the most recent testing cycle. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the repairs made after the September 2025 failure were executed to professional standards. It is vital to check for remaining play in the ball joints and steering components, as the previous failure highlighted excessive wear. The uneven wear pattern previously noted on the offside front tyre also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn bushes that should be verified to preventages replacement of new rubber. Given the clean records between 2022 and 2024, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained until recently. However, the buyer must confirm that the anti-roll bar links and suspension ball joints were replaced with high-quality parts and that the vehicle has been properly aligned post-repair. Monitoring the condition of the rubber artwork is advisable, as high-mileage usage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis components of this Citroen model.
