2016 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · CX66 VPF

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a clean pass record across the last five tests. The most recent inspection on 23 May 2025 at 18,230 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle consistently meets DVSA safety and emission standards without the recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation often seen in older models. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,823 miles per year. Between September 2022 and May 2025, the car covered only 4,716 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or very short-distance trips. The jump of 1,717 miles between February 2024 and February 2025 shows a slight increase but remains well below typical usage patterns. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to fluid breakdown and rubber component aging when a vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as these often occur when brakes are not used frequently enough to clear rust. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as rubber material degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify that the engine oil and fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage to ensure internal engine protection remains intact.
