2017 DS DS4 1.2L Petrol · GD66 HXY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward minor age-related wear. While the car passed its tests between 2022 and 2025 with no recorded defects, the February 2026 test at 21,667 miles flagged cracking and perishing across all four tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound, the rubber components are beginning to degrade from age rather than from mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Data shows a consistent, slow accumulation of mileage from 11,920 miles in early 2022 up to 21,667 miles in early 2026. This low usage profile typically reduces mechanical strain on the engine and suspension components, but it often correlates with the dry rotting of rubber-based seals, hoses, and tyres due to long periods sitting stationary between uses. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as the February 2026 advisory indicates they are reaching the end of their functional life despite having significant depth. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust and uneven binding. Furthermore, verifying the condition of the suspension bushings is necessary to ensure that the low usage has not caused the rubber to perish and crack over time.
