2017 Citroen C3 Picasso Edition Bluehdi 1.6L Diesel · HGZ 3885

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 27 August 2023 at 24,752 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates the car met all roadworthiness standards at that time, but the absence of any tests since August 2023 means the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for nearly two years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,750 miles per year. The record shows almost total stagnation in usage over a three year period. Between 9 June 2022 and 27 August 2023, the odometer moved only 39 miles, from 24,713 to 24,752. Such prolonged periods of inactivity often pose more risk to a vehicle than high mileage, as components can seize or perish from lack of use. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. Binding calipers and brake disc corrosion are common in cars that stand for years, and the rubber compounds in the tyres may have hardened or developed flat spots despite having plenty of tread. The low usage pattern suggests the engine oil and other fluids may have degraded through moisture accumulation rather than wear. Check for signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms and inspect the battery health, as long-term dormancy frequently leads to electrical failure. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, the lack of recent data means a full underside inspection is necessary to ensure the chassis remains sound after years of minimal movement.
