Used Citroen C4 Picasso for sale in Europe

About the Citroen C4 Picasso

The Citroen C4 Picasso is a compact MPV built on the C4 family platform. It has a tall, airy cabin, a wide windscreen and a flexible rear seating layout. It suits families who want practical space without moving up to a full-size people carrier.

A longer Grand C4 Picasso with seven seats sits alongside it. Be sure which body the listing describes. Buyers often look at both when comparing cars across countries.

Petrol and diesel engines are the most common choices in our listings. Some cars run on LPG or CNG, and these are often aftermarket conversions. Manual gearboxes are common, and automatics of several types were offered depending on the year and engine.

Generations

• Mk1 (2006-2013) — The first-generation C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso used 1.6 and 2.0 petrol and diesel engines with manual, robotised or conventional automatic gearboxes.
• Mk2 (2013-2022) — The second generation moved to a newer platform and smaller petrol and diesel engines, and was renamed C4 SpaceTourer around 2018.

What to check when buying a used Citroen C4 Picasso

Start with the service history, then walk around the car and test every electrical function. Take a long test drive that includes a cold start, low-speed manoeuvres and some motorway driving.

• Service history and records

  Look for regular, dated servicing with invoices. Oil changes matter on turbocharged engines and on diesels with particulate filters. Gaps in the records or missing recall work are a reason to ask questions or look at another car.

• Gearbox behaviour · Mk1 robotised gearbox

  Some Mk1 cars had a robotised manual gearbox. Check for jerky shifts, delays and warning lights on the test drive. Ask whether the clutch or actuator has been repaired. A conventional manual or automatic is a simpler alternative.

• Timing chain and carbon · 1.6 THP petrol

  Turbocharged 1.6 petrol engines are widely discussed for timing chain wear and carbon build-up. Listen for rattles at a cold start and check for rough running. Ask for proof of oil changes and any chain work.

• Timing belt condition · PureTech petrol (Mk2)

  The small turbo petrol engines in the Mk2 use a belt that runs in oil. Owners and workshops discuss belt wear, so ask whether it has been replaced and which oil was used. Check for oil leaks and warning messages.

• Diesel emissions parts · HDi and BlueHDi diesel

  Check for smoke, warning lights and limp-mode behaviour. Short trips can clog the particulate filter. On later BlueHDi cars, ask about the AdBlue system and any repair history. A diagnostic scan before purchase is worthwhile.

• Gas conversions · LPG and CNG cars

  Many gas cars are aftermarket conversions. Ask for the installer's paperwork, tank test dates and service records for the gas system. Check that it switches cleanly between fuels and that the tank and lines look sound.

• Body, glass and interior

  Inspect the large windscreen for chips and cracks, as it is costly to replace. Check the sliding rear seats, the blinds and the boot floor. Look for damp in the footwells and signs of leaks around the roof and doors.
