2023 Citroen C4 Sense + Puretech S/S 1.2L Petrol · SL73 BDF

The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 July 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Based on this recent record, the maintenance trend for this vehicle appears stable and compliant with all current DVSA safety and environmental standards. As the vehicle is relatively new, the absence of any recorded issues suggests that the structural integrity and primary safety systems are currently in good working order. The recorded mileage of 9,040 miles over a three-year period represents an annual usage rate of approximately 3,013 miles, which is considerably lower than the typical UK average. While this indicates minimal mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, such low usage often suggests the vehicle has been subject to long periods of standing. While this preserves many mechanical parts, it can introduce specific issues related to inactivity that are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection. Given the low mileage and clean MOT history, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than component wear. Check the tyres thoroughly for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can degrade due to UV exposure and age even if the tread depth is substantial. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly, and listen for any signs of binding calipers or unusual noises during the test drive. Additionally, verify the health of the 12V battery, as infrequent use can lead to a loss of charge capacity and potential starting issues. Finally, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been strictly adhered to. For low-mileage vehicles, manufacturer intervals often dictate fluid changes based on time rather than distance. Ensure that the engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant have been replaced according to the calendar-based schedule to prevent fluid degradation or moisture contamination. Confirm that the service book contains the necessary stamps to prove the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's requirements, which is vital for the long-term reliability of the PureTech engine.
