2017 Citroen C3 Picasso: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 75% pass first time (all 2017 cars: 80%) Stands out: brake discs 2.2×, exhaust system 4.5×, individual direction indicators 13.3× 3,771 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 71% pass first time (all 2017 cars: 80%) Stands out: brake discs 2.3×, exhaust system 10.7×, drive shaft (cv) joints 6.2× 5,902 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
