The Citroen C4 (2010-2010) has a concerning MOT failure rate of 30.4%, indicating reliability issues.
The Citroen C4 (2010-2010) presents significant concerns for potential buyers, particularly due to its high MOT failure rate of 30.4%. This figure is derived from 1,095 real MOT tests recorded in DVSA data, highlighting a worrying trend in reliability for this model.
The primary defect categories contributing to these failures include tyres and brakes, which account for 38.21% and 33.75% of tests respectively. Additionally, lights also represent a notable failure category at 23.31%. These issues suggest that owners may face frequent and potentially costly repairs, particularly in the areas of safety-critical components.
Failure rates also vary significantly by mileage, with vehicles having over 120,000 miles showing a staggering 48.2% failure rate. In contrast, those with 0-40,000 miles have a much lower failure rate of 19.1%. This indicates that as the vehicle ages and accumulates mileage, the likelihood of failing an MOT increases dramatically, further emphasizing the reliability concerns associated with the Citroen C4.
Overall, the combination of a high overall failure rate and specific issues with critical components makes the Citroen C4 (2010-2010) a model that potential buyers should approach with caution.
