2018 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · FP18 UPB

The 2018 Citroen C4 Picasso demonstrates a stable and consistently well-maintained history, culminating in a clean pass on 9 May 2025 at 72,126 miles, just over a year ago from the current date. No defects or advisories were recorded at the most recent test, indicating the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness standards at that time. This unblemished record suggests a previous owner who addressed minor wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2022 test at 23,785 miles and the April 2023 test at 39,463 miles, the vehicle covered 15,678 miles. This increased slightly to 19,652 miles over the following year, reaching 59,115 miles in May 2024. The most recent annual interval up to May 2025 saw a reduction to 13,011 miles. This equates to an average of roughly 9,000 miles per year, indicating regular sustained use without prolonged periods of inactivity that can cause deterioration of rubber components and brake corrosion. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The tester flagged no recurring mechanical or structural issues, but prospective buyers should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure wear around the 70,000-mile mark. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining life, particularly if the lower recent mileage indicates more stop-start urban driving. Examine the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody, ensuring no rust is forming on load-bearing points. A clean MOT history confirms past compliance, but a hands-on assessment verifies the current condition of these high-wear items.
