2015 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · WK65 YBP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 12 June 2026 at 75,643 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. This failure identified multiple mechanical issues including a rough wheel bearing, headlamp alignment problems, and worn indicators. The presence of these faults suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects when necessitated by an MOT test, rather than performing routine preventative inspections. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,643 miles averages approximately 6,877 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,300 miles driven between June 2025 and June 2026, and another 6,200 miles in the year preceding that. However, the relatively low annual mileage does not justify the rapid degradation of structural components and suspension-related parts noted in the records. A buyer must pay close attention to the structural integrity of the underbody, as the front sub-frame and rear suspension arm mounting brackets have been flagged for corrosion across three consecutive years since 2025. While the tester currently classifies these as not yet seriously weakened, the persistent mention of rust indicates an ongoing process that will eventually require treatment. A physical inspection should verify the depth of this corrosion to ensure it is not progressing beyond the surface level. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The nearside rear service brake was reported as binding in the 2026 tests, which often indicates a sticking caliper or worn slider pins. Given that the nearside front wheel bearing was recently replaced following the 2026 failure, the buyer should check for any remaining noises or vibrations during a test drive. The history of worn tyres and ball joints further reinforces that basic consumable maintenance has frequently been neglected until reaching a point of failure.
