Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (2007)
2007 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso
CarHunch analysed 186 real MOT records for the 2007 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso has a first-time MOT pass rate of 71.5%, notably below the UK average of 80%, and over 41% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significant concern for a family car. The diesel variants (which make up 153 of the 186 analysed) perform marginally better at 72.1%, but this still represents a real reliability weakness in the model.
At 71,600 miles median mileage for a 17-year-old vehicle, these cars have been driven sensibly, yet they're still averaging 4.4 failures per test and racking up 18 advisories, suggesting systematic wear rather than isolated problems. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension, brakes, and electrical systems—this model shows persistent issues across those areas that tend to compound over time.
What to check before buying a 2007 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 41.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
