2017 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · CP66 AEK

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile, showing a recent trend towards increased consumable wear and minor suspension issues. While the most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 113,353 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern of tyre-related advisories and failures seen in previous years, suggesting that basic upkeep of tyres is not always prioritised by the current or previous operators. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase in usage over the last few years. Between January 2021 and January 2022, the vehicle covered roughly 18,000 miles, but the jump from 77,880 miles in November 2022 to 93,105 miles in December 2023 indicates a period of heavy use. The most recent interval between February 2025 and March 2026 saw nearly 10,000 miles covered, confirming the vehicle remains in regular, high-frequency service. Mechanical records indicate recurring issues with the front suspension. The vehicle failed on 1 December 2023 due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. Although this was rectified for the subsequent pass, the February 2025 test at 103,488 miles recorded an advisory for a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. This recurrence suggests that suspension components are under significant stress from the high mileage or that the repairs made previously were not long-term solutions. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and all rubber bushings to check for play or degradation. Given the repeated advisories for tyres being worn on the edges or near the legal limit, a check of the wheel alignment and camber settings is necessary to ensure uneven tyre wear is not being caused by underlying steering or suspension faults. The history of nails in tyres also suggests the vehicle is frequently driven in environments where road debris is common, so a close look at the overall condition of the wheel rims and tyre sidewalls is advised.
