YY65 CUC MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Citroen C4 (YY65 CUC) between December 2022 and March 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 04 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 9 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
The most recent advisory noted in March 2026 flags front brake pads as wearing thin, so budget for replacement imminently if they have not already been changed. The 2023 fail listed both front tyres below the 1.6mm legal minimum alongside a non-functional stop lamp and inoperative number plate lamp — the latter two are typically minor electrical fixes, but the tyre issue suggests the car may not have been serviced to a strict schedule at that point. Suspension arm rear bushes were flagged at the same test and reappeared as advisories, indicating the front lower arms are likely due for replacement. Check that the rectification work after the 2023 fail was thorough and ask to see invoices; a quick re-test pass only confirms the listed items were addressed, not general mechanical condition.
Because the C4 sits in a competitive family-car segment with alternatives from Ford, Vauxhall and Peugeot, value is a real lever in negotiation. There is no service history included in the MOT data, so request full paperwork before committing — particularly evidence of cambelt or timing chain attention on the 1.2-litre PureTech engine, which is known across the industry to require careful timing belt servicing depending on variant. Inspect the underside for corrosion (common on French cars of this era), check the clutch for slipping or juddering, and verify all electrical systems including the infotainment screen and air conditioning. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent Citroen specialist is strongly recommended given the front-end wear pattern visible in the MOT history.
The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol unit fitted to this C4 typically returns around 45-50 mpg in mixed driving, translating to roughly £1,400-£1,600 in annual fuel costs at current UK petrol prices for a driver covering 10,000 miles. Road tax sits in a low bracket thanks to the small engine and 2015 registration, generally around £30-£165 per year depending on exact CO2 figures. Insurance for a 2015 Citroen C4 1.2 tends to fall in groups 10-15, putting it in a manageable bracket for most drivers. Typical maintenance is modest, though the front suspension bushes and brake items flagged in the MOT history will add to near-term costs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,800-£2,200 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
Given the advisory and failure history, physically inspect the front brake pads for remaining thickness and check the discs for scoring or lipping — the 2026 advisory suggests replacement is close. Examine the front suspension arms and rear bushes closely; both sides were flagged in 2023 and a knocking noise over bumps or uneven tyre wear would suggest the bushes have deteriorated further. Inspect all four tyres for even wear patterns and check the age codes, as the 2023 fail for sub-1.6mm tread suggests tyres may have been left to wear out at least once on this car. Beyond the MOT-specific items, this generation of C4 can suffer from electrical gremlins affecting the infotainment and central locking, so test every function thoroughly during a viewing.
On the 1.2 PureTech engine specifically, listen for timing chain rattle on cold start, check for oil consumption by inspecting the dipstick and underside for leaks, and confirm there is no excessive smoke from the exhaust. The 2025 advisory about a defective exhaust mounting is a minor fix but worth checking has been resolved properly. Verify the operation of all exterior lamps including the stop lamp and number plate illumination that failed in 2023 — a quick walk-around test is sufficient. Finally, check the bodywork for the usual Citroen concerns of this era: stone chips on the bonnet, scuffed wheel arches, and any signs of previous accident repair along the sills and rear quarter panels.
This black 2015 Citroen C4 with a 1.2-litre petrol engine has covered 74,561 miles across four recorded MOT tests since 2015. The record includes one failure in December 2023 (tyres, stop lamp, rear number plate lamp, and suspension bushes) followed by a pass two days later after rectification. Advisories since then relate to brake pads and exhaust mounting. Without aggregate reliability data for the C4, judgement must rest on this individual record, which shows a mix of pass and advisory items with one earlier failure.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Citroen C4 in the supplied record set, so broader model reliability cannot be confirmed from the data provided. The individual vehicle's record shows a mixture of pass and advisory items with one failure, which is a middling outcome rather than an indication of widespread model issues.
