2016 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · SE65 KZP

The Citroën C4’s most recent MOT tests reveal a stable but unusual pattern: the vehicle passed twice in September 2025 at identical mileage (61,266), yet the test was duplicated on the same date with no recorded defects. This suggests either an administrative error in the DVSA system or a rare instance of a vehicle passing inspection without any technical issues being flagged. The preceding tests in October 2024 (57,417 miles) and November 2023 (52,591 miles) also passed without failings, indicating no recurring mechanical concerns were detected during standard MOT checks. However, the lack of advisories or defects across all tests does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension mounts, brake calipers, or subframe connections—which are not always captured in a basic MOT. The mileage progression shows consistent annual mileage of around 6,100 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in service intervals, though the absence of service records beyond MOTs means critical maintenance—such as fluid changes, timing belt inspections, or suspension servicing—cannot be verified. The most recent test occurred just under a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, but the lack of advisories in prior tests raises curiosity about whether the vehicle has undergone any proactive maintenance beyond legal requirements. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not failed in MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in wet conditions. Structural integrity is another concern—examine the wheel arches, subframe, and sills for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety-critical areas without being visible from the road. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are sound, so a thorough mechanical assessment is essential.
