This 2022 Citroën C4 is notably reliable, with a first-time pass rate of 89.7% well above the UK average of 80%, and a low dangerous defect rate of just 7.6% suggests it's a safe bet mechanically. The average vehicle in this cohort has racked up nearly 25,000 miles, which is typical for a two-year-old model, and when failures do occur they're minor—averaging just 0.15 per vehicle.

Most owners will encounter minor advisories rather than serious problems, averaging 1.1 per test, which usually means wear items rather than structural concerns. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on the cooling system and suspension components, as these tend to be where early issues emerge on this generation—but overall, this model is performing better than most in its age group.
