What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Citroen Grand C4 Picasso is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Citroen Grand C4 Picasso had covered 92,918 miles at test, against 107,108 for the diesel. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
