2011 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · WN11 VHR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of neglected brake components. The most recent test on 27 May 2026 at 37,717 miles confirms a long-term pattern of pitting and scoring across all four discs, alongside a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. While the car passes annually, the recurring advisories regarding worn brake hardware suggest the previous owners only address components when they fail rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old Citroen, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 21,446 miles and May 2026 at 37,717 miles, the vehicle covered only 16,271 miles. This low usage explains the persistent surface corrosion and pitting noted on the brake discs; when a vehicle sits for long periods, moisture reacts with the iron alloy of the discs, leading to the type of surface degradation documented throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and check for seized calipers or uneven wear. The record shows front discs were pitted in 2023 but were merely noted as worn in 2026, indicating they have not been replaced despite the surface scoring. You should also inspect the suspension bushings for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber rot rather than mechanical wear. The nearside front tyre requires immediate replacement, and an alignment check is advised to explain the uneven edge wear flagged by the latest tester.
