2012 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · AO12 ACX

The 2012 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent DVSA test on 22 April 2025 at 117,218 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The file also contains a pass and a fail both logged on 17 May 2023 at 99,112 miles, each with no defects listed, pointing to an administrative anomaly rather than mechanical fault. Relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, the latest certificate has now expired by three months, so the vehicle requires a fresh MOT before road use. Mileage progression across the records stays within typical bounds for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 90,853 miles at the 18 May 2022 test, rose to 99,112 miles by 17 May 2023, then 110,486 miles on 17 May 2024, and reached 117,218 miles by 22 April 2025. Annual increments of roughly eight to eleven thousand miles indicate consistent private or light commercial use with no prolonged standing or sudden accumulation. The sparse history of five entries over four years remains free of advisories, suggesting previous owners maintained statutory testing discipline even if deeper maintenance invoices are absent. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT summaries may omit. The tester logged no corrosion or suspension concerns, but at 117,218 miles the front lower arm bushes and rear trailing arm bushes warrant hands-on checks for radial cracking, while rear coil springs should be inspected for fractures. Probe brake discs for lip wear and calipers for binding, particularly given the Picasso's heavier MPV mass. Assess structural integrity around sills and subframes for rust bloom despite the clean emissions and brake results. Previous keepers clearly prioritised passing tests without deferred faults. No recurring brake or exhaust emissions issues appear, and the lack of minor consumable advisories suggests tyres and wiper blades were replaced proactively. This pattern reflects caretaker ownership rather than a neglected example, though independent verification of service history remains prudent.
