Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Pay close attention to the drivetrain and suspension. The MOT records show a split CV boot in 2024 followed by worn CV joints on both the nearside and offside in 2025; you should verify that these components were fully replaced rather than temporarily repaired.
Request full service records to confirm the maintenance interval of the 1.6L diesel engine. Given the mileage jump from 53,036 in 2024 to 95,653 in 2026, ensure that oil and filter changes have kept pace with the increased annual usage.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency in a large MPV, though costs will vary based on annual mileage. You will need to account for diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2016 emissions bracket, and insurance for a vehicle of this size.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the recurring suspension and drivetrain issues seen in the MOT history. Expect to budget for the repair of the exhaust flexi pipe mentioned in the latest test.
The most critical item to inspect is the exhaust system, as the June 2026 MOT explicitly flagged a burst exhaust flexi pipe. While it was not blowing enough to fail, it is a pending repair.
Additionally, check the front drive shafts and suspension arm ball joints, which were points of failure in July 2025. Finally, check the condition of the spare tyre, as it was recorded as defective during the 2025 MOT tests.
This blue 2016 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso has recorded 95,653 miles as of June 2026. The MOT history indicates a pattern of wear-and-tear failures, specifically regarding the CV joints and suspension, with a recent advisory noting a burst exhaust flexi pipe.
