Mine has always burnt oil i estimate at least a pint in 5k! At the moment i only use it for short runs and it seems to burn even more now!!!!!!
Two mates have Picasso's with the same engine one with 35k the other with 95k neither burn any oil - not a drop????????
May well be something connected to using the wrong oils.
The correct grade is 5/30 and it must conform to PSA spec:
B71 2290
The correct oil is here:

Halfords markets one suitable oil as does Comma and quite a few other makers.
