2010 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · RJZ 7065

The 2010 Citroen C3 Picasso remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent April 2026 MOT at 140,100 miles. The 2025 test at 123,603 miles also showed no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No advisories or failures suggest the vehicle has been consistently maintained to meet legal standards. However, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee absence of underlying wear, particularly in components not assessed during MOT checks. The vehicle’s mileage of 140,100 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,756 miles over 16 years, reflecting typical wear for its age. The 16,497-mile increase between the 2025 and 2026 MOTs occurred within a 12-month period, suggesting higher-than-average usage in the preceding year. This could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged. The sparse MOT history offers limited insight into long-term maintenance patterns, but the lack of recurring faults implies no systemic mechanical decline. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop gradually. While the MOT records confirm compliance, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on non-MOT elements to assess hidden deterioration.
