2008 Citroen C4 1.6L Petrol · WR08 YDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed the most recent February 2026 test at 124,682 miles, the inspection revealed new concerns regarding a corroded nearside front coil spring and uneven wear on both front tyres. This suggests that components are being addressed only upon reaching a point of failure, which can lead to escalating mechanical issues. At approximately 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 124,682 miles averages to roughly 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns, with approximately 9,000 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 7,400 miles in the following year. This consistent accumulation indicates the car has been used regularly, but the high mileage places significant stress on rubber components and suspension assemblies. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage was flagged for play in both 2024 and 2025. The damaged offside way rack gaiter noted in early 2025 remains a critical area to monitor, ensuring it has been replaced to prevent steering artwork failure. Furthermore, the edge wear reported on the front tyres in February 2026 indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that requires immediate attention to avoid rapid tyre degradation.
