Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pattern of passing MOT tests. The most recent entry on 19 February 2024 at 139,818 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a trend of clean passes dating back to July 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 10,755 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 129,421 miles in July 2022 to 139,818 miles by February 2024. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration or misuse. A brief anomaly appears in April 2023, where the vehicle passed two tests within thirteen days, though both recorded nearly identical mileages of 137,216 and 137,230. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must remember that these tests only provide a snapshot of safety and emissions. At nearly 140,000 miles, the Citroen DS4 is prone to wear on high-stress components. You should manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade before they trigger an MOT failure. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the brake discs for lip wear or corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories is positive, but it does not guarantee the condition of consumables. Verify the remaining tread depth on all tyres and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements. Given the age and mileage, ensuring the drivetrain has been serviced regularly is more critical than the clean MOT history suggests.
