2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · PX13 YPJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 15 May 2026 at 89,253 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning progression regarding structural integrity and suspension components. While the most recent test only flagged corroded rear coil springs, the previous year saw a significant structural failure on the nearside outer sill and a fractured front coil spring. This indicates that while immediate faults are being addressed, the underlying corrosion on the chassis points is in a state of active deterioration. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,866 miles per year over its 13-year life. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the car covered 2,819 miles, and it added another 1,918 miles prior to the most recent test. This low annual usage explains the relatively low wear on the drivetrain, but it frequently contributes to accelerated structural corrosion and the degradation of rubber components, as seen with the perishing front tyres. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the outer sills and suspension mounting points. The failure in May 2025 for excessive corrosion on the nearside outer sill suggests that the structural integrity of the body is at risk. You should verify that the repairs made after that failure were structurally sound rather than merely cosmetic. Additionally, the recurring history of pitted brake discs and uneven tyre wear suggests that the suspension geometry or caliper components may be sticking, which could lead to premature replacement of consumables.
