2012 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · DA12 XVZ

The Citroen Grand C4 Picasso presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 20 June 2025 at 96,989 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the three years of available history is stable, showing no escalating mechanical concerns. However, the record reveals an unusual pattern where the vehicle failed the MOT on the day prior to each pass in both 2024 and 2025, yet the failure entries list no defects. This suggests administrative re-test anomalies rather than genuine faults, though the buyer should confirm the reason for those failed entries with DVSA. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows 82,893 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 89,944 miles by June 2024 and 96,989 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per year, matching the expected average and indicating steady private or light-use operation rather than prolonged standing or high-stress mileage. The sparse history with only three test years available gives limited visibility, but the clean defect record across all presented tests is a positive signal of basic upkeep. No advisories or defects were logged against suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any stage. The absence of flagged wear items means the MOT record alone does not expose recurring consumable neglect or serious mechanical risk. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of the underbody for rust, verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, and confirm the brake calipers are free from binding given the vehicle's age. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles in June 2024 and June 2025 warrant a check of the DVLA portal to clarify whether these were data errors or withheld minor findings. Beyond that, the Citroen shows a clean and stable test profile relative to its mileage, and no immediate red flags arise from the official record supplied.
