2015 DS DS4 2.0L Diesel · DS04 OFF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 30 April 2026 at 60,115 miles, indicating the car is roadworthy. The maintenance trend remains stable, despite a brief interruption in March 2026 when the vehicle failed its initial inspection. The failure was primarily attributed to a coolant leak and headlamp alignment issues, both of which were rectified to achieve a pass shortly thereafter. Aside from this minor setback, the history shows a consistent pattern of passing inspections without significant mechanical advisories, suggesting the car has received regular, if standard, attention. At 60,115 miles over eleven years, the vehicle exhibits a low annual mileage of approximately 5,465 miles. This usage pattern is consistent across the recorded history, with steady increments of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year between 2023 and 2026. This level of activity avoids the common pitfalls of long-term storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals, which often plague vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods. The consistent mileage accumulation suggests the car has been in regular, light use rather than sitting idle. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the cooling system, specifically checking for any residual signs of the leak flagged in the March 2026 failure. Verify the integrity of the radiator, hoses, and water pump to ensure the repair was comprehensive. While the windscreen damage noted in the recent tests is minor, it remains a point of observation that could deteriorate over time. Given the age of the vehicle, perform a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often begin to show signs of fatigue at this mileage threshold. The overall record indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, though the cooling system requires verification to ensure long-term reliability.
