2016 Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · WT16 DYA

The 2016 Citroen C4 Picasso presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 3 February 2026 at 70,396 miles with zero defects recorded. The only blemish in the entire five-test history is a minor windscreen washer insufficiency advisory logged on the same day as the pass, a trivial consumable top-up issue rather than a mechanical concern. No suspension, braking, exhaust, or structural defects have ever been flagged across the recorded MOT history. The mileage accumulation is consistent and predictable, tracking at roughly 7,000 miles per year, which is typical for a family MPV of this age. Between the November 2023 test at 62,734 miles and the February 2026 test at 70,396 miles, the vehicle covered 7,662 miles over approximately 27 months, indicating steady but not excessive use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest long periods of standing or tampering. Given the entirely clean bill of health across all five tests, there are no recurring mechanical faults to scrutinise. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on the areas that commonly deteriorate on the C4 Picasso platform despite passing an MOT. Check the rear suspension bushes and drop links for play, inspect the exhaust system for corrosion around the flexi-joint and back box, and verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, a known issue on this model. Examine the inner sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate tracking or suspension geometry drift not severe enough to fail an MOT but indicative of deferred alignment work. Inspect the subframes and inner wing arches for surface corrosion, as the C4 Picasso is prone to rust in these areas as it ages, even when it remains within corrosion thresholds for test purposes.
