2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · KS17 PDV

The 2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 July 2025 at 28,013 miles, passed with zero defects. A retest on the same day also passed cleanly, indicating no outstanding faults. Looking back through the history, every test from 2022 to 2025 has passed first time with no advisories or failures. This is a strong, consistent maintenance trend with no signs of deterioration. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle. In July 2022 the recorded mileage stood at 23,090, rising to 25,149 by July 2023, then 26,618 by July 2024, and finally 28,013 by July 2025. That is an accumulation of roughly 1,500 to 1,900 miles per year over the past three years, averaging approximately 3,100 miles annually across its full life. The increments are steady and linear with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps, suggesting regular short-to-medium distance use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage runs. Despite the clean MOT record, a low-mileage vehicle of this age warrants careful physical inspection. Components such as tyres, brake discs, and rubber suspension bushes can degrade through age and standing rather than through use. Dry perished tyre sidewalls, corroded brake surfaces from prolonged parking, and deteriorated bushings are all common on vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. The underside should be checked for surface corrosion, particularly on subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust mounting brackets, as low-mileage vehicles are not always driven enough to naturally shed moisture and road salt. A test drive over varied road surfaces is advisable to confirm the condition of the suspension and steering. Listen for clunks or knocks from the front and rear suspension that could indicate worn drop links or anti-roll bar bushes not yet severe enough to trigger an MOT advisory. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion at joints and flexi-pipes, and verify that all dashboard warning lights extinguish correctly on ignition. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but age-related deterioration on a low-mileage vehicle can develop between annual tests without triggering a formal failure.
