2011 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6L Diesel · YR11 AHA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 December 2025 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the last three tests have been largely clean. The absence of major failures or recurring structural issues suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well-maintained in recent years, with the owner addressing minor faults before they became critical failures. With a recorded mileage of 93,423 miles over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,228 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a family vehicle of this age, avoiding the risks associated with excessive wear from high mileage or the degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this suggests the drivetrain and suspension components should still possess significant life, provided the service intervals have been adhered to. Despite the clean recent record, the 2024 advisory regarding the offside front tyre wearing on the inside edge is a point of interest. This typically indicates a misalignment of the tracking or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for abnormal tyre noise and ensure the vehicle does not drift or pull to one side. It is also advisable to inspect the current tread depth across the full width of all tyres to confirm that a four-wheel alignment has been performed to prevent premature wear of new rubber. Given the vehicle's age, particular attention should be paid to the braking system and rubber components. The 2021 advisory for pitted and scored front brake discs suggests a history of surface corrosion, which can lead to brake shudder or reduced efficiency; a firm pedal feel and a lack of vibration under braking should be verified. Furthermore, the buyer should inspect the suspension coil springs for corrosion and check all rubber seals and hoses for perishing. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, such as the engine oil and brake fluid, have been carried out regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
