2017 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · FN67 NVK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in brake-related condition. The most recent test in November 2025 at 29,091 miles identified front brake pads as wearing thin and both front and rear discs as pitted or scored. This represents a progression from previous advisories noted over the last four years, indicating that the braking components have not been overhauled despite multiple test intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,332 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns moving from 20,527 miles in late 2021 to 29,091 miles in late 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it frequently explains the surface corrosion and pitting observed on the brake discs, as the components are not used often enough to keep the metal clean and prevent oxidation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the recurring pitting and scoring on the discs since 2021🇯 they are nearing the end of their effective service life. Specific attention is also required for the front brake pads, which were flagged as thin in the latest report. Furthermore, the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, noted for having play in both 2021 and 2022, should be verified to ensure the part has been replaced or has not developed significant play that could affect handling.
