2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2.0L Diesel · H5 KHR

The 2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso holds a valid MOT, passing most recently on 23 June 2026 at 78,616 miles. Despite this current compliance, the maintenance trend is worsening rather than resolving. The latest test flagged four separate advisories, indicating a gradual deterioration of key mechanical components over the past three years. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the increasing frequency of defects points to ageing suspension and braking parts that require close attention. Accumulating 78,616 miles over nine years equates to roughly 8,735 miles per year, a typical figure for a family vehicle. The mileage progression shows steady, consistent use, with no glaring gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation between tests. The 2025 test recorded 74,063 miles and the 2026 test recorded 78,616 miles, demonstrating a 4,553-mile increase over the last twelve months. This regular usage pattern makes the recurring brake disc pitting somewhat unusual, as frequent driving typically keeps disc surfaces clean. Buyers must inspect the front suspension and braking components thoroughly. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has exhibited slight play in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, while the nearside front joint displayed the same issue in 2024. This recurring play suggests the front suspension joints are degrading and will likely require replacement soon to prevent further deterioration. Brake disc pitting and scoring have appeared annually since 2024, affecting both rear discs in 2024 and 2025, before shifting to the offside front and nearside rear discs in 2026. Pitted discs compromise braking efficiency and often indicate the vehicle stands idle for extended periods, allowing surface corrosion to form on the metal. A physical inspection should assess the depth of the pitting and the condition of the calipers to ensure no binding is occurring alongside the visible disc wear.
