2016 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · BL66 NEN

The vehicle presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 November 2025 at 19,556 miles. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the C3 Picasso currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This consistent record suggests a previous owner who maintained the vehicle adequately, addressing any issues promptly rather than allowing faults to accumulate over time. At roughly ten years old with only 19,556 miles recorded, this is an exceptionally low-mileage example, averaging just under 2,000 miles annually. The MOT history confirms this sparse usage, showing steady but minimal increments: 13,377 miles in October 2022, 15,746 miles in November 2023, 17,774 miles in November 2024, and 19,556 miles in November 2025. Such light use typically reduces wear on consumables and drivetrain components, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce their own mechanical concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, the same-day pass and fail logged on 21 October 2022 at 13,377 miles warrants a brief inquiry, as it suggests an initial failure followed by an immediate retest. Given the extremely low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components that deteriorate from age and inactivity rather than wear. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion from standing, and inspect the suspension bushes for perishing. Assess the exhaust system for moisture-induced corrosion and ensure the engine reaches optimal operating temperature during a test drive to confirm the emissions system functions correctly after short runs.
