2015 Citroen C4 1.6L Diesel · YY65 FGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 68,538 miles passed with a single advisory for slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This followed a failure just two weeks prior where the tester flagged the horn, an offside rear position lamp, and the same anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle is currently passing, the recurring nature of minor electrical and suspension faults suggests a lack of consistent pre-test inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The car progressed from 21,407 miles in October 2018 to 68,538 miles by October 2025. There is a notable increase in usage between September 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered nearly 18,000 miles after several years of much lower activity. This low annual mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to dry-rotting of rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the anti-roll bar linkage has now been identified as a developing point of wear. The 2023 record also noted front brake discs were pitted and scored, which warrants a physical check of the current thickness and surface condition of rotors. Given the history of multiple failures related to bulbs, wipers, and washer fluid, a thorough electrical check is necessary to ensure all auxiliary systems have been properly addressed. The state of the tyres and windscreen wiper system is also vital, as these have failed multiple times in the past.
