2014 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · SB63 ONJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 June 2026 at 79,108 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than a proactive one. While the car has passed its last two annual tests, the history reveals a recurring cycle of failures related to wear and tear components. This suggests the owner tends to address mechanical issues only when prompted by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance on consumables. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing frequency between October 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered roughly 7,000 miles in sixteen months. Since then, usage has remained steady, with 11,631 miles covered between the 2024 and June 2026 tests. The low annual mileage explains why certain components like brake discs and suspension bushes have not reached terminal wear despite the vehicle's age. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the record shows persistent issues with the offside front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages. These components were flagged in 2021, 2022, and 2025, indicating a recurring weakness in the front end assembly. The offside front CV boot split noted in 2025 also requires a physical inspection to ensure the replacement was completed professionally and to prevent premature joint failure. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with multiple entries for thin pads and pitted discs across 2017, 2020, and 2025. Furthermore, the vehicle frequently fails on tyre condition, with several failures for exposed cords, cuts, and uneven wear. An in-person inspection must verify the current tread depth of all four tyres and the functionality of the tyre pressure monitoring system, which was reported as inoperative in 2024.
