2017 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · CP66 ADZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test in December 2025 at 32,027 miles passed with a single advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a pattern of minor wear issues, as the December 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads and pitted discs, indicating that mechanical components are beginning to require attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with intervals of roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles between each annual MOT test from 2019 to 2025. This low-mile history suggests the vehicle has undergone minimal mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine components, though the infrequent use can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion on unmoving brake components if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring edge wear on tyres noted in both 2020 and 2025 suggests a persistent geometry issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2024 advisory regarding pitted brake discs implies that the front braking system may have been sitting damp; a physical check should ensure the discs are not thin or warped. Given the low mileage, also check for cracking in rubber hoses and degradation of fluids, as age-related perish is common in older vehicles that are driven infrequently.
