2018 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · GK18 ACZ

The Citroën C4 Grand Picasso has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over the past three test cycles, with the most recent examination on 24 March 2026—just four months ago—resulting in a clean pass. The absence of defects across all tests, including the duplicate entry on the same date, suggests no recurring mechanical failures or advisory trends. However, the duplicate pass/fail record at 63,325 miles raises minor procedural questions, though it does not indicate technical issues. The vehicle’s history reflects a stable pattern of compliance, with no evidence of worsening wear or unresolved faults. Mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging approximately 7,900 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests remain consistent, with roughly 8,000 miles between each MOT from 2023 to 2026. There are no large gaps or abrupt mileage spikes that would suggest prolonged neglect or aggressive driving. The recorded mileage at the last test (63,325) confirms the vehicle has not been significantly under-reported, though independent verification of service history remains advisable. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that are not directly tested during the MOT but are critical for long-term reliability. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in this model. Brake components, including the rear calipers and discs, warrant close scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has been driven through wet or heavy loads. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust progression over time. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity should be verified, as catalytic converter failures or leaks are not always detected during the MOT but can lead to emission-related issues.
