2018 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.2L Petrol · KY18 AWC

The C4 Picasso presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 72,460 miles passed with zero defects, and the maintenance trend is demonstrably stable. Looking back through the record, the vehicle has consistently sailed through its annual tests with no advisories or failures, barring a single pass-fail anomaly on consecutive days in March 2023 at 55,581 miles. That 2023 entry shows a fail on the 14th followed by a clean pass on the 16th, suggesting a minor rectification was carried out between the two dates. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the history. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable. The car has covered roughly 9,000 miles per year, moving from 55,581 miles in March 2023 to 72,460 miles by March 2026. There are no alarming gaps in the record that would suggest the vehicle sat unused for extended periods, nor are there any sudden spikes in accumulation that might indicate high-stress motorway running. The annual intervals between tests are consistent, with each MOT falling within a few weeks of the previous year's date. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of wear. At 72,460 miles, the front suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs deserve close scrutiny for perishing or knocking. The braking system, particularly the rear calipers and handbrake mechanism on this model, should be checked for binding or uneven pad wear. Inspect the subframes and inner wing arches for corrosion, as the C4 Picasso is prone to surface rust advancing into structural areas if undersealing has degraded. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as rubber deteriorates independently of tread depth.
