2018 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · LF18 ADO

This Citroën C4 Grand Picasso has maintained a clean MOT history since its last test on 27 May 2025 , with no defects recorded at 90,572 miles . The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive tests—spanning 2021 to 2025 —indicates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the one-day retest in November 2022 (81,771 miles) suggests a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The vehicle has not undergone a test since May 2025 , meaning it is now 14 months overdue for its next MOT, which would have been due on 27 May 2026 . While the lack of recent failures is reassuring, the extended period without inspection raises questions about whether routine servicing has been maintained, particularly for components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust systems, which degrade predictably over time. The recorded mileage of 90,572 miles over 7 years and 8 months (from the earliest MOT in November 2018 ) averages 11,322 miles per year , a rate consistent with typical usage for this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity in the data, though the gap between the 2022 failure and pass (just five days) appears unusual and may warrant clarification. The vehicle’s mileage suggests moderate wear on high-usage items like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades, though without service records, the condition of less visible components—such as timing belts, differential fluid, or suspension dampers—remains unverified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as these often fail silently and are not always caught in a basic MOT. The rear brakes should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the 2022 retest (though technically a pass) hints at potential oversight. Corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe is another critical area, especially given the vehicle’s age—rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions controls (if equipped with a DPF or catalytic converter) should be scrutinised, as these are common failure points in diesel models and may not always be flagged until they reach critical failure. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
