2009 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · FP59 BFX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent test on 21 March 2023 at 176,266 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests the previous owner was willing to rectify immediate issues to maintain legal compliance. However, the lack of a test record for the years leading up to the current date of June 2026 means the current state of the safety-critical components and emissions system remains unverified by the official DVSA standard. The vehicle has covered 176,266 miles over its 17-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,369 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with typical expectations for a family MPV of this age. Between January 2021 and January 2022, the car clocked 8,081 miles, while it covered 4,194 miles between the January 2022 and March 2023 tests. This consistency indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, though the high cumulative mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as rust points are common for Citroen models of this era. Given the high mileage, the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber or fatigue. Because the MOT record does not list specific mechanical failures beyond the passes, the buyer should also test for binding calipers or thin brake discs that may have triggered previous retests. The gap in testing over the last three years represents a significant risk, as fluid leaks or tyre condition could have degraded without professional oversight.
