2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · SH15 YBW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on April 29 2026 at 69,374 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as evidenced by the failure just one day prior at 69,370 miles where the tester identified a nearside front track rod end ball joint with excessive play. The fact that this fault was rectified immediately suggests the owner is willing to address safety-critical failures once flagged, rather than letting defects persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 56,282 miles and the 2025 test at 62,934 miles, the car covered 6,652 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts like suspension bushes and seals degrading due to age rather than sheer distance. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the track rod end failure indicates potential wear in other steering linkage components. The 2025 advisory regarding an offside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests a past alignment issue or a worn shock, which should be verified to ensure no uneven tire wear has returned. While the record shows no structural corrosion issues, the age of the vehicle warrants a check for typical rust on the subframe and mounting points common to Citroens of this era.
