2013 Citroen C4 2.0L Diesel · YX63 WBZ

The Citroën C4 in question demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years, with the most recent MOT test on 15 August 2025—just under a year ago—confirming no defects at 101,967 miles. The vehicle has passed every subsequent test since January 2023 without advisories or failures, suggesting consistent compliance with UK MOT standards for brakes, emissions, and structural integrity. The absence of recurring faults in the record implies that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—have not been systematically overlooked, though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond MOT scope. Mileage progression reveals a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,800 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests aligns with DVSA guidelines, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. Notably, the minor discrepancy between the January 2024 failure (87,677 miles) and subsequent pass (87,718 miles) suggests either a retest or a minor oversight, but no substantive issues were recorded. This consistency in mileage and test intervals indicates responsible maintenance, though it does not account for non-MOT-related wear such as fluid changes or alignment checks. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not fully covered by the test. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of uneven sagging or corrosion, as these often degrade beyond visual inspection. Examine the brake system for uneven disc thickness or warping, especially if the vehicle has experienced hard braking or frequent high-speed use. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise the chassis over time. Tyre condition, while not flagged in the record, warrants verification, as failing twice on tread depth in prior models suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. Finally, verify service history for fluid replacements (brake, power steering, coolant) and timing belt condition, as these are critical for longevity but not MOT-mandated.
