2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · TX02 OEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and lighting. The most recent test in January 2026 at 96,868 miles shows the vehicle passing only after failing on multiple front-end issues. While the car passed, the tester flagged advisories for slight play in both anti-roll bar linkages, worn suspension arm bushes, and a track rod end ball joint. This suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they approach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 16,220 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 17,400 miles in the year leading up to the January 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The data shows no evidence of long stationary periods that might lead to component degradation. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the recurring issues with anti-roll bar links and suspension bushes indicate a weakening front-end assembly. The braking history also shows a pattern of neglect, with rear brake pads failing in early 2026 and both discs and pads being noted as thin in 2025. Furthermore, the failure in December 2023 involving the ABS, electronic parking brake, and engine management lights suggests a past history of complex electrical or sensor faults that require thorough verification to ensure they were properly rectified and not merely cleared with a diagnostic tool.
