2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · YP65 JDU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 103,321 miles shows a pass, following a failure just two days prior. While the owner addressed the failed nearside front suspension arm ball joint, the tester immediately flagged new issues with pitted brake discs and a worn tyre. This pattern suggests the owner only performs the minimum repairs necessary to pass the MOT rather than addressing developing mechanical wear. At 103,321 miles over 11 years, the Citroen averages approximately 9,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family car. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 12,600 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 12,800 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This consistent use explains the progressive degradation of consumable components like brakes and suspension hardware noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history shows recurring failures in steering components, including a track rod end in 2024 and a ball joint in 2025, which necessitates a check for play in all other ball joints and bushings to prevent future failures. Furthermore, both front and rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in late 2025, indicating they are nearing the end of their functional life and likely require replacement. The uneven wear pattern on the nearside front tyre also suggests a potential alignment issue that needs professional verification to avoid premature tyre scrubbing.
