2016 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.2L Petrol · SE60 HAY

The 2016 Citroen C4 Picasso stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 3 September 2025 at 48,823 miles which recorded no defects. Each annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a clean pass, showing no worsening or emerging mechanical concerns. The odometer traces a consistently low usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. Starting at 29,973 miles on 3 September 2021, the car added 4,825 miles by 7 September 2022, then 4,283 to 5 September 2023, 5,406 to 31 August 2024, and 4,336 to the 2025 test. This equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year, with no mileage gaps or sudden accumulation. The record is sparse in faults yet clean, indicating light motoring rather than neglected storage. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of components prone to age rather than mileage wear. The DVSA tests raised no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs across the period, but prolonged low use can conceal perished rubber mounts and binding calipers. We advise checking front MacPherson struts and rear trailing arm bushes for cracking, and confirming brake discs are free from rust pitting after standing. Structural integrity beneath sills and subframes warrants a ramp check for superficial corrosion despite absent advisories. Tyre sidewalls may exhibit crazing from age even with ample tread. The clean defect record implies previous owners kept statutory upkeep current, yet the low annual distance suggests periodic idle storage, a pattern demanding scrutiny of coolant hoses and fluid condition before purchase.
