Citroen Xsara Picasso - problems at 70k? - JohnnyBoy
Have been offered a 2001 Picasso HDI SX with 70k miles on the clock for £7500. It's an ex Citroen Lease car, so has a full Citroen service history.
Engine-wise the milage doesn't bother me, but are there likely to be any other problems looming, for example: steering, suspension, or gearbox?

Have a look at the Picasso-L group at yahoogroups.com. They'll keep you right about possible pitfalls. There was a muttering about the hydraulic clutch linkage failing at 70,000 miles but I reckon it's either 'all in the past' now or confined to a very few cars. Pic owners don't seem to complain about it.

The Cit/ Peugeot HDIs are brilliant motors!
