2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · FN17 TWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 50,999 miles, it had failed just one mile prior due to critical wear on the nearside rear brake pads and a lagging nearside front brake. The presence of a dented offside sill and the note that engine bay covers were obscuring components suggest recent physical impact that may have masked underlying issues during inspection. The car exhibits very low mileage for its age, covering approximately 51,000 miles over roughly nine years. This averages to about 5,600 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with approximately 5,200 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and roughly 5,200 miles between 2023 and 2024. Low mileage can sometimes lead to perishing of rubber components, which is evidenced in the vehicle's history. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the history indicates recurring issues. The September 2024 test noted pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs along with corrosion on the rear brake hoses. Given the 2025 failure regarding thin pads and a lagging caliper, the entire" circuit should be checked for seized components. Additionally, the anti-roll bar linkage failure noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure the replacement was of good quality. The tyres and structural areas also require close attention. The 2023 test flagged multiple tyres across different corners for sidewall damage and perishing, which is common in low-mileage vehicles where the rubber ages faster than the tread wears. Furthermore, the dented offside sill should be inspected in-depth to ensure there is no structural compromise or hidden corrosion resulting from the impact damage mentioned in the most recent way record.
