2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · CU17 TRZ

The Citroen C4 Grand Picasso presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 10 April 2026 at 64,100 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with every pass since 2023 showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A single failure on 9 April 2026 at 64,089 miles stands out, yet the record lists no defects against that test, implying an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression tracks typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car covered 40,548 miles by 14 August 2023, rose to 50,697 by 12 August 2024, then 57,994 on 9 April 2025, and reached 64,100 by April 2026. Annual averages sit near 7,100 miles, with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant gaps. The sparse but consistent history offers little evidence of neglect, though the absence of advisories across five years means wear items were either renewed pre-test or remained within limits. The clean MOT record gives no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion concerns to pursue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers, as the DVSA tests cannot capture intermittent faults. The unexplained 2026 failure warrants a check of the test centre's reason to confirm no hidden defect escaped the next-day pass. Given the low defect history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic upkeep without deferred consumable replacement. Verify service invoices to corroborate the odometer and clarify the April 2026 anomaly before purchase.
