2018 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2.0L Diesel · WV18 YHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the record reveals a trend of deferred maintenance regarding critical wear components. While it passed the test on 28 April 2026 at 102,985 miles, this followed just one day after a failure that identified multiple brake and suspension defects. The recurring nature of worn suspension arm bushes and thinning brake pads across several years suggests that the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 102,985 miles over eight years, the vehicle has covered a higher than average annual distance of approximately 12,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 8,000 miles in the final year. This high mileage profile places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the persistent deterioration of the front drive shaft boots noted in both 2024 and 2025. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as both nearside and offside front arm bushes have been flagged for wear since 2025. The April 2026 failure specifically highlighted rear brake pads at below the 1.5mm limit, indicating that the braking system is nearing a comprehensive overhaul cycle. You should also check the front tyres for uneven wear, as the record consistently notes edge wear issues likely caused by the worn suspension components. Additionally, verify that the front drive shaft boots have been replaced and are currently free of tears or grease leakage, as these was a recurring failure point for two consecutive years.
