2014 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · FN14 VGK

The Citroen DS4 presents a stable and currently sound mechanical condition, culminating in a clean pass on 21 March 2026 at 119,069 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable rather than worsening, as the vehicle has consistently passed its recent MOTs without accumulating any advisories or failures. Although a failed test appears on the same date at the identical mileage, the subsequent clean pass indicates that any immediate issue was swiftly rectified, leaving the car in a fully roadworthy state today. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,922 miles annually. Between the 4 March 2024 test at 107,459 miles and the 3 March 2025 test at 115,478 miles, the car covered 8,019 miles, demonstrating regular use. However, the subsequent year saw a notable drop in usage, with only 3,591 miles added between 3 March 2025 and 21 March 2026. This reduced recent mileage could indicate a change in ownership or a shift to shorter, local journeys, which sometimes leads to issues like brake surface corrosion or battery drain if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. With no recurring mechanical or structural faults documented in the official record, a buyer's physical inspection should focus on the general wear expected at 119,000 miles. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage Citroens often exhibit premature wear in these components. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, particularly given the lower mileage covered in the last twelve months, which can cause pitting even if the pads have sufficient depth. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody and subframes for corrosion, and check the exhaust system for any signs of leaking joints or deteriorating hangers that might not have triggered a failure at the last test.
