2007 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · SA57 UAL

The vehicle holds a valid MOT history concluding in October 2022, leaving a significant gap of over three years without official testing records leading up to June 2026. The final recorded outcome remains a pass despite multiple advisories regarding brake disc condition and tyre tread depth approaching legal limits. Maintenance appeared stable through 2019 and 2020 with clean records, yet mechanical wear accelerated noticeably between late 2021 and late 2022. Issues escalated from minor corrosion and steering play to significant brake surface degradation within that twelve-month period, suggesting deferred maintenance on consumables. Recorded mileage sits at 133,227 miles, averaging roughly 7,000 miles annually over the nineteen-year lifespan which aligns with typical usage expectations for this vintage. A critical anomaly exists however, as the odometer reading remained static at 133,227 miles between October 2022 and the current date. Such stagnation suggests the car spent considerable time stationary or underwent minimal driving during the last four years. Without recent testing data, verifying the actual current mileage becomes impossible solely from this digital trail, creating uncertainty regarding engine and transmission health since the last recorded inspection. A buyer should prioritize physical checks on the braking system and steering components before purchase. The history flags persistent rear brake disc corrosion and scoring alongside front steering rack play, indicating potential suspension bush wear or joint fatigue common in high-mileage French vehicles. Look for fresh oil leaks around the CV joints given the grease contamination noted previously. Tyres require immediate measurement across all corners to ensure compliance with current legal standards, especially since the last test flagged edge wear. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis rails for rust, as older Citroens often suffer from underbody corrosion that accelerates once protective coatings degrade.
