2014 Citroen C4 Picasso VTR + E-HDI S-A 1.6L Heavy oil · LC64 BTO

A consistent record of clean MOT passes defines the mechanical history of this 2014 Citroen C4 Picasso, with six recorded tests from 2018 through June 2026 all returning pass results and no advisories or defects logged against the vehicle at any point. The absence of recurring advisories for suspension wear, brake component degradation, corrosion, or exhaust concerns is a notable feature of the file, particularly given the age of the car. The most recent test on 18 June 2026 was completed with no defects recorded, continuing a run of uneventful annual examinations. While MOT records cannot confirm the underlying mechanical condition or internal service history, the absence of flagged defects across multiple tests suggests the vehicle has not presented any roadworthiness concerns that an examiner considered sufficient to record during this period. At twelve years of age with 91,161 recorded miles on the odometer, this C4 Picasso has accumulated mileage at an average rate of roughly 7,597 miles per year, which sits within typical parameters for a family-oriented diesel MPV of this generation. There are notable gaps in the testing record, with no MOT entries between 2019 and 2022, and again between 2022 and 2024, though the presence of tests on either side of these intervals means the mileage progression can still be tracked through the recorded figures. The relatively even spread of annual mileage and the absence of any recorded advisory relating to age-related wear items such as corrosion, suspension component deterioration, or brake pipe integrity suggests the vehicle has remained in regular use without extended periods of standing. For a prospective buyer, the lack of recorded advisories means there are no specific components flagged in the MOT history to target during inspection, but the underlying mechanical risks for a diesel MPV of this mileage and age remain relevant. Particular attention should be paid to the clutch operation and the E-HDI semi-automatic gearbox behaviour, listening for shudder on pull-away, delayed engagement, or any warning lights relating to the automated clutch actuator. The diesel particulate filter is a known wear item on higher-mileage E-HDI units, so any hesitation under load, illumination of the DPF warning light, or excessive smoke during a hard acceleration run should be noted. On the test drive, check for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, as front wishbone and anti-roll bar bushes are common renewal items on these vehicles. The braking system should be evaluated for signs of binding calipers, particularly given that uneven pad wear or a pulling sensation under braking can develop without necessarily triggering an MOT failure. Steering response should be checked for any vagueness around the straight-ahead position or clonking over speed humps, as the electro-hydraulic power steering system on this model can develop faults with age. Given the mileage, it would also be prudent to inspect the condition of the timing belt service history, the coolant system for any signs of leaks around the thermostat housing, and the underbody for any corrosion around suspension mounting points, even though the MOT record does not show any of these areas being flagged. A pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with PSA E-HDI vehicles would be a sensible precaution before committing to purchase.
