2012 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · AU62 DVG

The 2012 Citroen C4 Picasso demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-03 at 146,662 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2025-02-21 (141,289 miles) and 2024-02-03 (138,853 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failure on 2024-02-02 at 138,841 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a procedural or administrative error. The absence of recurring faults over the past three years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,476 miles annually. The records show steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage that would indicate neglect or excessive wear. The 2023-01-11 test at 127,756 miles marked the earliest entry, followed by consistent annual checks. The 12-mile difference between the 2024-02-02 failure and subsequent pass on 2024-02-03 raises questions about the test’s validity, but no mechanical issues were flagged. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged inactivity. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and wishbones, which are common wear points on this model. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or thinning, given the vehicle’s age. While no structural rust or major defects are documented, the lack of detailed advisories in the MOT history means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels. The car’s maintenance record reflects responsible ownership, but mechanical aging remains a factor requiring thorough on-site evaluation.
