2015 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · CY15 CVE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-26 at 103,593 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior failure on 2025-08-18 at 103,227 miles—also with no defects—suggests potential technical issues resolved between tests. The absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies the owner addressed underlying concerns, though the proximity of the failure and pass raises questions about the nature of the intervention. Overall, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to meet legal standards, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific mechanical conditions. The car’s mileage of 103,593 miles at 11 years old aligns with an average of 9,418 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. However, the jump from 88,800 miles (2024-08-26) to 103,227 miles (2025-08-18) reflects a 14,427-mile increase in 12 months, exceeding the average. This rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The MOTs between 2022 and 2024 show consistent, lower-mileage intervals, suggesting periods of lighter use. The sparse data—no advisories or minor defects recorded—indicates a clean maintenance history but offers limited visibility into potential hidden issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the recent mileage surge, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which could result from increased usage. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion, as higher mileage often correlates with greater exposure to road salts and environmental factors. While the MOT records show no structural integrity concerns, the lack of detailed fault reports means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded data.
