2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · VA15 BBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 122,172 miles passed, but only after rectifying a defective central exhaust mounting and a worn nearside front tyre. This followed a failure just nine days prior where the tester also identified non-functional stop lamps and a perished anti-roll bar linkage. While the car is currently passing, the recurring issues suggest the owner only addresses faults once they threaten an MOT failure. At 122,172 miles over 11 years, the car averages approximately 11,100 miles per year, which aligns with standard national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 5,700 miles covered between the December 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,200 miles in the preceding year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals. A prospective buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension, as the record shows worn suspension arm bushes in 2024 and a failed anti-roll bar linkage in late 2025. These indicators suggest ongoing wear on the front end that may require further attention or replacement soon. The exhaust system is also a point of concern, with defective mounts and broken brackets noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025. A physical inspection should verify the integrity of the exhaust hangers and ensure no further corrosion has compromised the structural integrity of the pipingwork.
