2009 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · YT09 GPU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2 February 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status is up to date and compliant with current regulations. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the last three annual inspections resulted in clean passes without any recorded advisories or defects. While the vehicle failed initial tests in February 2025 and February 2026, these were likely administrative or minor procedural hiccups rather than indicative of complex mechanical failure, given the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day or within a short window. With 95,779 miles recorded over 17 years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,634 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a car of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with roughly 4,000 to 4,500 miles added between each annual test since 2024. This steady, low-intensity usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive long-distance motorway strain, though it necessitates a careful check for issues associated with infrequent use, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate on older, low-mileage vehicles through age-related corrosion rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the inner edges of the tyres for uneven wear patterns that might indicate misaligned geometry, and check the brake discs for surface oxidation caused by periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history is clean, the primary concern remains the hidden impact of age on perishable items like hoses, belts, and structural integrity under the chassis. Verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer’s schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item that does not appear on the MOT record.
