Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this 1.6L diesel C4, prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 MOT recorded play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints and oil misting on the shock absorbers, so you should check for any signs of renewed weeping or knocking sounds during a test drive.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the 2024 MOT failure was specifically due to front tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Additionally, given the 2024 failure regarding a binding nearside front service brake, ensure the braking feels smooth and consistent without any pulling to one side.
As a 1560cc diesel, this C4 is likely to offer reasonable fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual figures will depend on maintenance. Tax and insurance groups for this era of C4 are generally moderate, making it a common choice for budget-conscious drivers.
Typical maintenance costs for this model include regular oil changes and periodic replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus heavily on the front end of the vehicle. Based on the MOT history, check the front suspension ball joints and shock absorbers for any movement or leaks, as these were flagged in 2023. You should also inspect the front tyres for uneven wear, particularly on the inner edges, which can indicate alignment issues.
Check the windscreen for any new chips or cracks, as this was a recorded defect in 2024. Finally, test the brakes thoroughly to ensure the nearside front brake is no longer binding, as noted in the 2024 failure.
This 2013 red Citroen C4 diesel has covered 88,130 miles since its registration in February 2013. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related issues, including tyre degradation, suspension component play, and a binding brake in 2024. The most recent test in September 2025 passed with no defects, but previous advisories suggest a need for attentive maintenance.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Citroen C4 model to provide a comparative benchmark.
