2015 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · SN65 YGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 38,947 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding an offside front suspension arm bush and a persistent oil leak. These issues follow a pattern of failures in 2024 and 2025 where suspension components and drive shaft boots were flagged, suggesting that parts are only addressed once they reach the point of MOT test failure. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 38,947 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low usage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The data shows a gap of nearly 4,500 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, during which the vehicle suffered a fractured fractured rear coil spring and a split CV boot, which are common symptoms of age-related perishability and corrosion rather than high mileage. A buyer must personally inspect the engine bay to assess the severity of the oil leak, which has appeared in three consecutive tests since 2025. The recurring issues with the nearside rear tyres showing edge wear and cracking indicate potential neglect of basic tyre maintenance or alignment issues. Furthermore, the offside front suspension arm bush noted in the 2026 test requires immediate attention to prevent uneven wear on the steering geometry. Given the history of split CV boots and ball joints, a thorough check of all rubber seals and joints is necessary to ensure no other dry failures are imminent.
