2018 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · KT18 WLC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 66,058 miles resulted in a pass but highlighted an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This suggests that the owner waits for components to reach the point of failure before addressing them. While the car has passed its last two tests, the history of failures shows that mechanical issues are frequently overlooked until annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,250 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 42,314 miles and May 2025 at 54,726 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles in just thirteen months. This spike in usage likely contributed to the accelerated wear seen in the tyres and suspension during that period. The overall low mileage relative to the age of the vehicle generally reduces stress on rubber components and the drivetrain assembly. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and tyre condition. The 2025 failure for an excessively worn nearside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint indicates a potential weakness in the front-end wear items. Furthermore, the 2024 failure involving structural tyre damage, including lumps and cracking, suggests a history of poor tyre maintenance or impact-related damage. You must verify that the current tyres are free of sidewall damage and check that the rear brake pads have been replaced, as the latest advisory confirms they were nearing their limit limit.
