DS DS42018 · 1.2L Petrol

This 2018 DS4 has covered 78,190 miles, averaging roughly 9,774 miles per year. This is typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, suggesting it hasn't been excessively driven nor left sitting for long periods, which generally implies a standard level of wear on consumables and mechanical components. The most recent MOT from July 2025 was a pass, though it noted an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. Looking at the history, there is a recurring pattern regarding lighting issues, specifically with the rear registration plate lamps appearing in both 2024 and 2025. While these are minor electrical advisories/failures, the repetition suggests the bulbs or the housing may be prone to failure or neglect. A more significant concern appeared in July 2024 when the vehicle failed due to a major exhaust leak at the bracket and worn rear tyres. While the exhaust issue was resolved to achieve the pass, the trend for minor electrical and consumable maintenance appears slightly inconsistent. However, since the major exhaust failure was rectified, the vehicle's condition trend looks relatively stable, provided the previous repairs were carried out properly. The mileage is consistent with the age, so you should not expect unusual wear from extreme high mileage, but you should be mindful of standard age-related degradation. Before purchasing, you should inspect the exhaust system thoroughly for any signs of new leaks or excessive corrosion, check the condition and tread depth of all four tyres, and verify that all exterior lighting, particularly the rear registration plate lamps, is fully operational.
