This is the standard C4 Picasso (a five-seat MPV) from the 2013–2018 generation — confirm the listing isn't a Grand C4 Picasso (seven seats) if you need more seats. The diesel engines are efficient but use common diesel hardware (turbo, EGR, DPF) so they're best suited to regular longer runs; short, stop-start town use can cause DPF/EGR issues. Being a manual, watch clutch wear and get the timing-belt/cambelt history checked — those jobs are more expensive on older diesels but parts are easy to source in Ireland.

• DPF behaviour: ask to see evidence of recent motorway runs, check for DPF warning lights, excessive smoke or frequent regeneration events.
• EGR/turbo: listen for turbo whistle or rattles and watch for blue/black smoke under load which can indicate EGR or turbo issues.
• Clutch and gearbox: test for slipping, heavy pedal or gear synchro crunching; manuals on older MPVs often need clutch work.
• Timing belt/cambelt service history: confirm cambelt and water pump were replaced to avoid a costly failure on a diesel engine.
• Interior electrics and infotainment: test all screens, switches, parking sensors and electric mirrors — this generation can show intermittent electrical faults.
