2018 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.2L Petrol · LF18 AAJ

The Citroën C4 Grand Picasso has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on January 15, 2026, at 37,520 miles. This indicates consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or major mechanical failures. The absence of any "fail" entries suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance—though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear beyond visual or functional MOT thresholds. The most recent test confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA criteria, though the next MOT due date (January 2027) will be approaching shortly, leaving just over six months of coverage. The recorded mileage of 37,520 miles at eight years old aligns with unusually low annual mileage, averaging around 4,690 miles per year. This pattern suggests minimal usage, which could imply either light daily driving or prolonged periods of storage. Notably, there is a significant gap between the August 2024 (30,081 miles) and September 2023 (24,454 miles) tests, covering a 13-month period with only 5,627 miles accumulated—far below the average. Such low mileage intervals may correlate with extended off-road storage, which could accelerate degradation of fluids, seals, or suspension components if not properly preserved. Conversely, the steady accumulation in earlier years (e.g., 3,765 miles between October 2022 and September 2023) suggests more consistent but still low usage. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as prolonged low-mileage periods can lead to rubber degradation or corrosion. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in MOTs, may show uneven wear if the vehicle has been intermittently driven, so caliper binding or glazed rotors should be checked. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as standing vehicles are prone to rust development. Finally, fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and condition (oil, transmission fluid) should be verified, as stagnation can cause contamination or seal failure over time.
