2007 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · WT07 RGV

The 2007 Citroen C4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-04-10 at 78,101 miles, which passed without defects. However, the immediate prior test on 2026-04-09 at 78,091 miles recorded a failure with no defects noted, suggesting a potential administrative anomaly or a minor issue resolved between tests. The 2025-04-02 test at 73,458 miles passed without issues, while the 2025-03-29 failure at the same mileage raises questions about the consistency of the testing process. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance history shows no significant mechanical or structural concerns in the last 12 months, but the lack of defect details in multiple tests limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s low mileage of 78,101 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 4,111 miles annually, indicating infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern may contribute to component degradation, such as corrosion in the chassis or dry-rotted rubber parts, despite the absence of recorded issues. The 2024-04-19 test at 70,383 miles passed without defects, and the subsequent 2025 tests show a gradual increase in mileage, with 3,075 miles added between 2024 and 2025, followed by 4,643 miles in the following 14 months. While the mileage growth is modest, the lack of detailed defect records in multiple tests complicates an assessment of long-term wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and suspension components, given its low usage profile. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers should be checked for stiffness or wear, as these can deteriorate without regular driving. The exhaust system and brake discs warrant scrutiny, as even low-mileage vehicles may develop issues from inactivity. While the MOT history lacks specific fault details, the recurring failures without recorded defects suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify any unresolved mechanical or structural risks.
