2016 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.2L Petrol · WV66 FNN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in October 2025 at 43,315 miles passed with only a minor cosmetic defect regarding a discoloured rear indicator. This represents an improvement from the previous year, where the vehicle incurred multiple failures related to lighting and tyre condition. While the car is passing, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests components are only addressed once they approach legal failure thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time with no significant gaps in the testing schedule, with roughly 15,000 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2025. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion due to inactivity, which aligns with the pitted brake discs and split rubber gaiters noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the records from 2021 and 2024 consistently flag uneven tyre wear on the inner edges. This often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional adjustment. The braking system has shown a history of thinning pads and pitted discs across both front and rear axles between 2022 and 2023, meaning the current components may be nearing the end of their effective life. Given the low mileage, also check for significant surface corrosion on the discs and ensure the handbrake mechanism has not seized due to long periods of standing.
