2016 DS DS4 1.6L Diesel · AJ16 NPE

The DS4 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 28 February 2024 at 134,499 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the March 2023 and March 2022 tests each showed a fail followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileages of 119,837 and 98,175 respectively, with no defects listed on any certificate. This pattern indicates administrative or procedural failures rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has since cleared its latest examination without advisories. The recorded mileage of 134,499 against a 2016 build gives an average of roughly 13,450 miles per year, which is high for the vehicle's age and points to sustained daily use rather than occasional weekend driving. From the March 2022 test at 98,175 miles to March 2023 at 119,837 the car covered 21,662 miles in twelve months, then only 14,662 miles to the February 2024 test. The DVSA data is sparse, with just five entries across two years, and the clean defect records give no basis to claim neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage and ten-year age. The same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2022 and 2023 with no defects noted suggest the previous keeper may have presented the car without correct documentation rather than addressing worn components, so verify the V5C and prior service invoices. Given the absence of recorded advisories on corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the chassis and powertrain show no flagged risk in the official record. Focus physical checks on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust at 134,499 miles, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until severely degraded.
