2013 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · WK13 VVH

The current roadworthiness status of this Citroen C4 is stable and reflects a well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test on 30 June 2025 at 98,228 miles resulted in a pass, following an initial failure on the same day. While the failure record lacks specific defect details, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass indicate that any issues were addressed promptly. The absence of recurring advisories across the last four years suggests that previous owners have adhered to a consistent maintenance schedule, keeping the vehicle in a reliable condition for its age. The recorded mileage of 98,228 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 7,556 miles per annum, which is entirely typical for a vehicle of this class. The progression of mileage is linear and logical, showing no signs of long-term storage or erratic usage patterns. The consistent annual testing intervals between July 2022 and June 2025 demonstrate that the car has remained in regular use, which is generally preferable to a vehicle that has sat idle for extended periods, as it reduces the risk of seized components or degraded seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that often escape MOT scrutiny, such as the condition of the clutch bite point and the responsiveness of the manual gearbox. Given the age of the vehicle, examine the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs for signs of fatigue or surface corrosion, as these are frequent failure points for this model. Verify the status of the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item not captured by the MOT system. Provided the engine bay remains clean and free of oil leaks, the mechanical history suggests this is a sound purchase for a buyer seeking a straightforward, used hatchback.
