2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · YY15 SBZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The August 2025 test at 87,118 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories noted. While the record shows two instances of failure in November 2023 and August 2025, these appear to be administrative or procedural rather than mechanical, as no specific defects were recorded during those failed tests. This suggests the vehicle has consistently met the minimum legal standards for roadworthiness over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,920 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 66,013 miles in November 2023 to 70,405 miles in August 2024, followed by a more significant increase to 87,118 miles by August 2025. This recent jump of roughly 16,700 miles in one year indicates a shift toward higher annual usage compared to the previous period. This increased mileage may accelerate the wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings. A physical inspection should focus on components that typically require attention as mileage climbs toward the 90,000-mile mark. Given the recent increase in usage, check the condition of the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and shock absorbers, for signs of leakage or fatigue. The brake system should be evaluated for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, and the underside should be inspected for any emerging corrosion on the exhaust or structural elements. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent test is a positive indicator. However, because the MOT is a snapshot of minimum legal requirements, a buyer should verify that all scheduled servicing has been performed to supplement the clean DVSA record. Focus on checking the service history to ensure oil changes and fluid replacements have kept pace with the increased driving frequency noted in the 2025 mileage data.
