That's an invalid VIN Steve. You have one too may 0s in the last 8. I have it now though.

The full timing kit service is 120k miles under 'Normal' conditions or 112k miles for 'Arduous', but in either whichever comes soonest - the mileage or 10 years for this engine (DW10FD).

Don't do it!! A mate of mine bought a Xsara Picasso back in 2017 and asked me to look after it. In May 2018 after he'd been a bit ill and not used it for a few months, he asked me to recommission it.
It's still on my drive more than 4 years later. He taxes and insures it. His sister used it for a fortnight when she visited from Oz, but that's about it... It's done nearly 25,000 miles since he dropped it off
and he keeps saying "Yes, I'll come and get it soon...". I'm a named driver on the insurance and use it as my own vehicle.. it also gets loaned out to friends when their more reliable and expensive cars break..

It's been to Paris twice with one of my friends.
HellRazor James used it for a while when the C5 was in for work, twice.
My brother used it for a month when his car packed up.
It did Christmas Hamper deliveries in Covid times.
It delivered prescriptions and shopping for the vulnerable in Covid times.

It's been great! It's the one vehicle I've got that I'd generally trust to get me anywhere if needed

It wont be living here, I have enough vehicles on the garden. I have a home workshop and just do it for fun these days, apart from our 2 citroens, 2 motorbikes, we have 2 friends moving in with us next week, both of them looking to buy French cars. also 3 very good mates with 3 Pugs. Not sure how I ever found time to go to work!!
