Citroen C3 Picasso - 81.2% pass rate

The small C3 Picasso actually marginally outperforms the average for the Citroen range when it comes to the first MoT, but it still falls 24 per cent below average for all cars tested for the first time in 2016.

The reasons that 18.8 per cent of the 8589 Citroen C3 Picassos failed their first MoT in 2016 are varied, and largely not concerning – 8.0 per cent failed due to dodgy windscreen wipers for example. What is notable is a 1.5 per cent failure rate for the exhaust system – a rate that is eight times higher than average.
