2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · WK65 YBV

The 2015 Citroen C4 presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2026 at 109,066 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean result is particularly significant because it follows a failure just eleven days earlier on 25 May 2026 at 108,798 miles, where the tester flagged four distinct faults. The rapid retest and pass confirm that the previous owner addressed those defects promptly, suggesting a responsive rather than neglectful maintenance approach in the short term. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,915 miles per year over eleven years sits squarely within typical use for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady progression from 74,051 miles in June 2023 through 88,353 miles in June 2024, 100,152 miles in June 2025, and 109,066 miles by June 2026, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps that would raise concern about long periods of standing or odometer discrepancies. The annual test intervals are consistent, and the data set, while not extensive, is clean and logically sequenced. The May 2026 failure is the most informative entry for a prospective buyer. The tester identified a loose offside front seat belt anchorage at the driver's seat, a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, excessive play in the offside track rod end, and a parking brake falling below minimum efficiency thresholds. These are not trivial consumable items. The suspension and steering ball joint wear points to component fatigue consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage, while the parking brake deficiency could indicate stretched cables, worn rear brake pads, or binding calipers that were subsequently rectified. The seat belt anchorage fault is a structural concern that warrants verification of the mounting point for corrosion or previous damage. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the front suspension and steering linkage, checking for play in the lower arms and track rod ends, and test the parking brake on a gradient to confirm it holds firmly. The front brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in June 2023 at 74,051 miles, so their current condition should be assessed given the additional 35,000 miles since that advisory. Underbody corrosion around the seat belt mounting points and along the sills should also be examined, as Citroen C4 models of this generation can be susceptible to structural rust in these areas.
