2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · SH15 BNZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection on August 11, 2025 at 75,822 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the car consistently passes its annual tests, the history indicates that mechanical issues are only addressed after failing or reaching an advisory threshold. The most recent entry noting a repair to the nearside front road wheel suggests a previous impact or damage rectified shortly before the last test. At 11 years old, the 75,822 recorded miles represent an average of approximately 6,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-urban usage patterns. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between October 2023 and August 2024, and another 11,300 miles leading into the 2025 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals, despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system, as the records show recurring pitted and scored brake discs on both axles between 2022 and 2023. This pattern suggests either long periods of sitting without use or a failure to replace components before they deteriorate significantly. The failure in 2023 due to a split nearside front CV boot also highlights a need to inspect all remaining driveshaft boots for grease leakage and dirt ingress, as these can lead to premature joint failure if left unaddressed. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the inner edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection should verify the current state of the front suspension geometry and check for uneven wear on all tyres. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the exhaust system and structural integrity of the chassis is necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying corrosion-related degradation.
