2016 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · DG66 AAJ

The 2024‑07‑17 MOT at 54,015 miles was passed with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance record. The previous 2023‑07‑31 test also passed with no defects, and the 2022‑07‑20 test showed the same clean outcome, suggesting no worsening or improving trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 54,015 miles equates to roughly 5,400 miles per year, well below the typical 7,000‑8,000 miles expected for a 2016 model, implying light usage or extended periods of inactivity. However, the jump from 23,595 miles in July 2022 to 38,246 miles by July 2023, and then to 54,015 miles by July 2024, shows a marked acceleration of usage in the last two years, which may have increased wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and any binding rear calipers, while also inspecting brake discs for scoring or corrosion and verifying that the handbrake operates freely. Examination of the chassis for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and a review of the exhaust system for cracks or excessive smoke on start‑up are essential, as are checks on tyre tread depth and condition, given the relatively low annual mileage. Overall, the MOT history demonstrates consistent pass rates with no recorded defects, but the recent mileage surge warrants a thorough physical inspection to confirm that suspension, braking and structural components remain serviceable.
