Buying Tips for the 2015 Citroën C4 Picasso / Grand C4 Picasso (Mk2)

  • ✓On 1.2 PureTech petrols, inspect the wet belt and insist on proof of the correct oil and replacement interval
  • ✓BlueHDi diesels should be checked for UREA, SCR or NOx faults even if the warning light is currently off
  • ✓Test the touchscreen, parking sensors, reversing camera and sliding-seat mechanisms properly because family use exposes every weak point
  • ✓Choose on evidence of longer journeys and decent upkeep, not just low mileage, because these cars suffer when used only for school runs
