The CITROEN C3 PICASSO (2009-18) 5DR MPV 1.6 HDI DPF 115 EU5 EXCLUSIVE 6SPD is a compact, five-door family MPV: taller and roomier than a small hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. In the UK used-car market, it appeals to buyers wanting practical space without moving up to an SUV. mycarcheck.com has recorded 169 checks covering 106 different VINs, a useful sample of cars shoppers have researched. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £3,500 and average recorded mileage of 73,000 miles; typical annual use is 6,000 miles, with around two previous keepers. These figures offer a helpful snapshot, though an individual car’s condition and history matter. Families, commuters and space-conscious buyers will value its flexible cabin and useful boot. Its diesel engine suits frequent longer trips and efficient commuting. Against the Ford C-MAX and Vauxhall Meriva, its airy, distinctive design helps it stand out.
