Depreciation Insight: What is a 2012 Citroen Picasso Worth?

When buying or selling a 2012 Citroen Picasso, understanding depreciation helps set realistic expectations. Citroen Picasso depreciation approximates the following pattern:

  • First year: 15–20 % drop from list price due to high initial demand
  • Year 2–3: an additional 10‑15 % decrease as the vehicle steps into the mid‑used category
  • Year 4–5: a further 10‑12 % decline, reaching roughly 30‑35 % total depreciation from the original value

Overall, a 2012 Citroen Picasso typically loses about 35‑40 % of its original price after five years. Adjustments vary by mileage, condition, region, and whether the car was petrol or diesel. For instance, diesel models often receive slightly less depreciation in markets where low‑emission standards favor them.

  • UK – The same model usually ranges from £3,500 to £5,500 for low‑mileage examples; high‑mileage cars can start around £2,000.
  • Middle East – Prices are often slightly higher (AED 17,000–30,000) due to import tariffs and the demand for vehicles with large boot space.
  • Asia-Pacific – In Australia, a 2012 Picasso usually fetches AUD 6,000–9,000 depending on transmission and engine type.
