2016 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · VN16 ACX

The Citroen C4 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 31 May 2025 at 83,240 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every annual examination either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. The May 2025 failure one day before the pass, and the May 2023 failure on the same day as its pass, show no advisories or defects logged, implying paperwork or presentation issues rather than worn components. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year against the 83,240 recorded. The gap between the 26 May 2023 test at 57,959 miles and the 21 May 2024 test at 72,801 miles accounts for 14,842 miles, the largest single-year movement in the record. From May 2024 to May 2025 the odometer added 10,439 miles. The data is sparse on fault detail, with four passes and two same-day failures carrying zero defects across the board. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's ten-year age and accumulated 83,240 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet the two zero-defect failures suggest the vehicle may have been presented without required documentation or minor consumable items such as wiper blades on the day. Verify the V5C and confirm the 2023 and 2025 failures were administrative, not suppressed mechanical rejects. Check exhaust emissions and tyre tread depth in person despite the clean advisories, as testers sometimes omit minor wear on a pass. The consistent clean sheets imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the same-day fail-pass pattern warrants scrutiny of why the car was rejected initially.
