2015 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel · WD15 GGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 79,214 miles, it had failed just nine days prior due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The recurring issues with binding rear brakes and thin brake pads across the 2024 and 2025 tests suggest that braking components are only addressed when they approach failure limits rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 79,214 miles, this 11-year-old Citroen has covered a consistent average of approximately 7,200 miles per year, which is typical for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 6,300 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another similar interval in the following year. However, the low mileage relative to age has not shielded the vehicle from the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by repeated advisories regarding perishing tyres. A buyer must personally inspect the rear braking system, as the nearside rear service brake has shown a history of binding and excessive wear. The tester flagged pitted and scored discs in 2024, which should be checked for minimum thickness and uneven wear. Furthermore, the consistent advisories for tyres worn on the edges across multiple years indicate potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require a professional assessment. The buyer should also verify the condition of the windscreen and lighting assemblies, as damage was noted in the most recent inspection cycle.
