Our Verdict
This 2013 Citroen C4 1.6L diesel in grey
When inspecting this Citroen C4, pay close attention to the items flagged in recent MOT tests, specifically the front brake discs and the rear coil spring noted on the 2026 certificate. Verify the service history to see when routine maintenance items like timing belts and fluid changes were last completed, as these are critical for the 1.56L diesel engine. Use the identified brake wear and suspension advisories as leverage during price negotiations.
Equipped with a 1560cc diesel engine, this Citroen C4 is well-suited for high-mileage driving and offers strong fuel economy potential. Insurance group placement for this variant is typically moderate, helping keep annual overheads manageable. Expect typical maintenance costs to include periodic replacement of consumable items such as brake discs, tyres, and suspension components highlighted in recent testing.
Examine the front brake discs, which were noted as worn during the 2023 and 2026 MOT tests, to determine if replacement is currently required. Inspect the rear coil spring for corrosion, as flagged on the July 2026 test at 111,798 miles. Check the front tyres for edge wear, noting that both front tyres were flagged for approaching the legal limit during the 2024 test.
First registered in August 2013, this grey Citroen C4 has covered 111,798 miles as of its July 2026 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with minor advisories and one failure in 2025 that was promptly rectified on the same day. The recorded mileage sits at an expected level for a 13-year-old diesel hatchback.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific Citroen C4 model is unavailable, making individual MOT history analysis essential.
