2022 DS DS4 Rivoli Puretech S/S Auto 1.6L Petrol · KS22 PPF

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on paper. The sole MOT record, dated 26 July 2025 at 20,077 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. With only a single recorded test in the history, there is no trend to analyse for worsening or resolving faults. The maintenance picture is stable but entirely unproven beyond that one snapshot. At roughly four years old, the recorded mileage of 20,077 miles equates to an average of approximately 5,019 miles per year. This is notably low for a vehicle of its age. The MOT history contains no prior entries to establish a mileage accumulation curve, so it is impossible to determine whether the car covered very little distance from new or whether the early MOT years are simply missing from the record. A gap of this nature warrants scrutiny, as extended periods of short journeys or prolonged standing can cause its own mechanical issues, including brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and DPF soot loading on a petrol engine. A buyer should treat the clean MOT as a starting point rather than a guarantee. The low mileage and single test mean there is no evidence of how the suspension bushes, coil springs, or shock absorbers have coped with use over time. A physical inspection should focus on the underside for any early signs of corrosion, particularly around subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake line unions. Tyre condition and date codes deserve close attention, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. The braking system and drivetrain remain an unknown quantity beyond the July 2025 pass. A road test is essential to confirm there is no binding, judder, or uneven braking, and that the automatic gearbox shifts cleanly through all gears under load. Given the sparse history, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is strongly recommended before committing funds.
