2016 Citroen C4 1.2L Petrol · VN16 ACO

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, last passing the MOT on 22 June 2023 at 58,342 miles. That test raised only minor consumable and cosmetic faults: an inoperative offside registration plate lamp, a defective nearside wiper blade, and light corrosion to the sub-frame and rear axle judged not seriously weakened. No test in the recorded history shows a failure, and serious mechanical or structural defects have not appeared. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2016 vehicle at roughly 5,834 miles per year. The odometer moved from 22,512 miles in April 2019 to 28,155 in June 2020, then jumped to 45,515 by June 2021 and 53,666 by June 2022 before reaching 58,342 in June 2023. The 2021 to 2022 period alone added over 8,000 miles, the heaviest annual use in the record, while the final year added only 4,676. The history is sparse on defects and shows no rapid deterioration between tests. Recurring tyre edge wear marks the earliest entries, with nearside and offside rears close to the limit in April 2019 and both fronts worn on the edge in June 2021. The 2023 wiper and lamp faults suggest basic upkeep was intermittent rather than neglected. Front brake discs showed lipping and pads were wearing thin at the 2020 test, though later tests recorded no further brake concern. A buyer should physically inspect the sub-frame and rear axle for corrosion progression, as standing time with low mileage can accelerate rust unseen. Verify the plate lamp and wiper were rectified after June 2023. Check front brake disc and pad condition despite no recent advisory, and examine all tyres for edge wear given the historical pattern. Confirm no unrecorded MOT gaps exist since the last test over three years ago.
