2008 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · PX08 AWN

The 2025‑10‑03 MOT at 123,431 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the Citroen C4 is presently roadworthy. The preceding 2025‑10‑01 test recorded the same mileage but failed due to near‑side and off‑side front outer integral body structure corrosion that significantly reduced sill rigidity (6.1.1 (c) (i)). The subsequent pass shows that the corrosion was remedied and the vehicle now meets all test criteria, indicating an improving maintenance trend after a serious structural failure. Over its 18‑year life the car has accumulated 123,431 miles, averaging 6,857 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage increments are steady: the jump from 80,045 miles on 19 January 2018 to 91,896 miles on 10 January 2019 represents an increase of 11,851 miles in roughly eleven months, while the rise from 103,017 miles on 7 January 2020 to 108,635 miles on 25 January 2021 adds 5,618 miles in ten months. No evidence of long idle periods is evident, and the recent annual mileage rise of about 1,766 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 further supports consistent use. A buyer should therefore inspect the front sills and surrounding structure for the quality of the rust repair and for any residual corrosion, examine the front suspension bushes and arm pins for excessive play or wear, verify that the front brake calipers move freely and that pads are within service limits, and confirm that tyre tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and that no side‑wall damage is present. The absence of a supplementary restraint system warning lamp in the latest test suggests the SRS fault was cleared, but a visual check of the lamp circuit remains advisable. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trajectory after the 2025 structural repair, but the recurring tyre wear advisories and prior suspension and brake deficiencies indicate that a thorough in‑person assessment of these components is essential before purchase.
