Buying Tips for the DS Automobiles DS 4

  • ✓Be especially careful with 1.6 THP petrols because they carry the usual chain and carbon-build-up risks
  • ✓If the car has the EGS or ETG automated manual, make sure you can live with the shift behaviour and that it is not actually worn out
  • ✓Front suspension noises are common on UK roads, so do not buy one without a rough-road test drive
  • ✓Check door locks, windows and the infotainment carefully because electrical niggles are more common than major structural issues
