2012 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · SY12 LLV

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 111,059 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,933 miles for a 14-year-old car. The record moves from 75,825 miles in February 2023 to 85,115 miles at the failed March 2024 attempt, then 85,237 miles four days later, 97,823 miles by February 2025, and 111,059 miles by February 2026. The 11,000-mile jump between early 2025 and early 2026 is the largest single-year gain but remains within normal bounds. The only anomaly is the 11 March 2024 failure at 85,115 miles, which the DVSA entry lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The MOT history captures only test-day condition and omits gradual wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion that a 2012 vehicle may conceal. The absence of advisories means the tester raised no concerns, yet components such as rubber mounts and exhaust hangers degrade with age irrespective of mileage. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on structural integrity at sills and subframes, brake caliper operation, and tyre sidewall condition. The previous owners appear to have maintained the car to pass standard, with no evidence of skipped consumables or ignored faults across the supplied entries.
