Hi new member here.
I took a gamble and bought a 2010 Picasso Executive from London and drove home to Aberdeen 500 miles. She drove like a dream. Everything seems to be working. But when next after about six hours I went to start her the battery was so low would not turn over. She did start with jump leads. I'm thinking battery not being charged for six months. Looking at the last MOT she has only done a couple of hundred miles in the last six Months. Please don't tell me I've bought a lemon as she drives good and looks good for a ten year old car for £2,500.

Probably yout battery is fading and needs renewal. A 500 mile journey should have charged a good battery fully. I would get the battery and charging circuit checked. Halfords/ATS or similiar. Golden rule is never to actually buy a battery from these outlets as they are grossly overpriced.
