2012 Citroen DS4 Dstyle HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · AVZ 5012

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 155,261 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. In both March 2025 and 2026, the car failed an initial inspection but passed a re-test within a few days. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing compliance issues once flagged rather than allowing faults to persist across multiple years. At 155,261 miles over 14 years, the DS4 averages approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a diesel hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 2,760 miles recorded between October 2023 and March 2025, and another 1,725 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing moisture ingress and seal degradation associated with long periods of standing. While the recent tests show no recorded advisories or defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of heavy-duty wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for fatigue or cracking, as high mileage often puts significant stress on the Citroen steering geometry. Given the age and distance, checking for brake caliper corrosion, thinning discs, and the integrity of the turbocharger is also essential, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these mechanical components unless they pose an immediate safety risk.
