2009 Citroen C3 Picasso VTR Plus HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · YKZ 4041

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 July 2026 at 114,226 miles. While a failure occurred just five days prior on 27 June 2026 at 113,906 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved passes without advisory warnings across the last several years. The mileage profile reveals a significant shift in usage patterns over the last seven years. From its inception in 2009 until December 2019, the vehicle covered only 38,190 miles, averaging roughly 2,800 miles per year. However, since the July 2024 test at 51,952 miles, the car has covered 62,000 miles in just two years. This recent acceleration to over 30,000 miles per annum indicates a transition from low-impact use to high-intensity driving, which places much higher stress on aging rubber components and suspension geometry. Because the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures or mechanical defects, a physical inspection should focus on the wear associated with this recent high mileage. A buyer must specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade rapidly on Citroen models under high annual mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for corrosion on the exhaust sills and verifying the integrity of the brake discs is also essential to ensure the sudden increase in use has not caused accelerated wear on the braking system.
