    My Mota supplied 15 plate diesel Picasso snapped its cambelt at just over 60k, a painful experience if you were not covered by warranty & breakdown – no mega damage, but 2-3 days in workshop. Ran till 75k afterwards without further issue.

    Only items needed outside general servicing was the above and a set of front brake pads.

    Car was bought and shipped abroad after I returned it at 3 years on motability & picked up an S-Max.

    Price offered on the 18 plate is good, don’t forget to check the std Picasso’s too – same front end, just a slightly smaller boot/shorter car with only 5 seats.

    5008 was similar inside if I remember – reminded me very much of the Picasso.
