2013 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · GL63 WEO

This Citroen DS4 presents a relatively stable roadworthiness profile, characterized by a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last several years despite isolated technical failures. The most recent inspection on 09 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a trend of clean results seen in both the 2024 and 2023 tests. While the vehicle experienced a failure regarding offside front headlamp aim in December 2023 and an ABS warning lamp fault in December 2021, these appear to be singular, non-recurring issues rather than symptoms of systemic mechanical decline. The vehicle has covered 113,637 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,741 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate road use rather than extreme long-distance commuting or prolonged periods of stationary storage. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage implies that while major drivetrain components may not be excessively stressed, consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and various rubber seals will be approaching mid-life wear cycles. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the braking system and steering geometry due to the historical advisories and failures. The 2021 failure involving an ABS warning lamp indicates a previous electronic or sensor-based fault within the anti-lock braking system. During a test drive, it is essential to ensure the ABS warning light remains extinguished on the dashboard and to check that the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent, without any pulsing or vibrations that could indicate a sensor malfunction or a binding caliper. Furthermore, the 2021 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge suggests a potential history of uneven tyre wear. This can often be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components such as control arm bushes or tie rod ends. When testing the vehicle, look for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving or any irregular vibrations through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, as these could indicate that the underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues have not been fully rectified.
