2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · SP57 OLG

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 105,848 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the mechanical and structural issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from multiple advisories to a clean pass sheet indicates that the current owner has taken proactive steps to rectify faults that were previously flagged by the DVSA. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,848 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,571 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with annual increments ranging between 1,700 and 2,700 miles over the last four years. This low-frequency use suggests the vehicle undergoes short journeys or sits stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the chassis. The records from 2022 and 2023 highlighted corrosion on the sills reinforcement and the front integral body structure. While the tester noted that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced at that time, rust is a progressive process on older Citroen models. A buyer should inspect the underbody for bubbling paint or thinning metal to ensure the aforementioned corrosion has not advanced since the last recorded test. The suspension also requires close scrutiny following the front coil springs being flagged for corrosion in 2023 and 2024. Although these were likely replaced given the subsequent clean passes, the buyer should check for signs of sagging or perished bushings on the shock absorbers. Additionally, the oil leak noted in 2022 should be verified in person to ensure it remains minor and has not become excessive, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brittle gaskets due to heat over time.
