Citroen C4 (2019)
2019 Citroen C4
CarHunch analysed 4,681 real MOT records for the 2019 Citroen C4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Citroën C4 passes its MOT on first attempt 84.3% of the time, which is above the UK average of 80%—a solid result. However, nearly a quarter of these cars (24.6%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is notably high and worth taking seriously when inspecting a used example. Petrol versions perform slightly better than diesel, with pass rates of 85.5% versus 82.7% respectively.
At an average mileage of 35,476 miles for a five-year-old car, these C4s are running well within normal wear expectations. The typical car carries 5.7 advisories per MOT test, suggesting routine maintenance items rather than systematic problems, but the 0.81 average failures per vehicle indicates you should budget for occasional repairs—budget accordingly and always get a full pre-purchase inspection, particularly checking brake systems and suspension given the dangerous defect prevalence.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 2.9 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2019 Citroen C4
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 24.7% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
