2008 CITROEN GRAND C4 PICASSO2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2019-12-05 recorded a pass, but several issues were noted, including a nearside rear registration plate lamp failure, a front brake disc worn but not seriously weakened, an oil leak, an insecure offside front headlight, and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly with lighting, braking, and tyre condition. A prior MOT on 2019-12-03 resulted in a failure, highlighting more severe defects: a fractured nearside front coil spring, missing exhaust and fuel tank shields (posing fire risks), multiple tyres below legal tread, and repeated brake disc wear. These issues indicate structural and safety concerns that likely required repairs before the subsequent pass. Recurring problems include tyres worn close to the legal limit or damaged on the edge, noted in 2019 (twice), 2018, and 2016. Brake disc wear was also recorded in 2019 and 2019, suggesting potential neglect or excessive use. While the 2017 and 2016 MOTs showed no defects, the 2018–2019 history reveals a pattern of minor to moderate issues, with one significant failure in late 2019. The vehicle’s mileage of 192,329 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 10,685 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests consistent use rather than long-term storage, but the high mileage increases wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the absence of major defects in earlier MOTs (2016–2017) implies the vehicle was well-maintained initially.
