2016 DS DS4 1.6L Diesel · GX16 VAF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025 at 83,994 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The preceding test on 20 October 2025 also showed no defects, though it was initially failed, suggesting a minor administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The prior three tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without advisories, reinforcing a consistent maintenance pattern with no recurring mechanical concerns. Mileage progression from 67,248 miles in October 2022 to 83,994 miles in October 2025 reflects an average annual increase of approximately 5,582 miles, slightly below the vehicle’s overall average of 8,399 miles per year. This rate suggests moderate use over the three-year period, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or significant gaps in testing. The tight interval between the October 2025 tests (four days apart) implies prompt retesting after addressing any initial failure, though the absence of defects in both records points to a well-maintained vehicle. For a prospective buyer, the MOT history’s clean record warrants attention to general wear items rather than specific mechanical faults. Given the higher recent mileage rate, inspection of brake components (pads, discs, and calipers), suspension bushes, and coil springs is advisable to assess wear relative to usage. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, particularly for signs of corrosion or tampering. The lack of advisories in prior tests reduces the likelihood of hidden issues, but a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition aligns with its MOT performance history.
