2018 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · GV67 ALU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-14 passed without defects, though it was preceded by a failed test just one day earlier on 2025-10-13—an unusual anomaly that suggests either a temporary administrative error or a last-minute rectification of a minor, non-structural issue. The preceding MOT cycle in 2024 also ended with a pass on 2024-10-02, following a failure the day before, reinforcing the pattern of a clean bill of health with no recurring mechanical or safety-related faults. This consistency indicates no obvious worsening trend in structural integrity or critical systems, though the abrupt pass-fail sequence warrants verification of whether any underlying issues were addressed between tests. The recorded mileage of 73,169 miles over eight years equates to approximately 9,146 miles per annum, a rate that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no evident gaps in service intervals or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, though the absence of pre-MOT service records means no insight into maintenance habits beyond the MOT outcomes. The most recent test occurred just eight months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this class, though buyers should confirm whether the owner has adhered to manufacturer-recommended servicing schedules beyond the MOT requirements. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not directly tested under MOT regulations. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as should the brake system for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on discs and callipers. The exhaust system’s structural integrity is also critical, especially given the vehicle’s age, to rule out leaks or detached sections. Finally, a thorough visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is essential to assess for corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe, and wheel bearings, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this class.
