2012 Citroen DS4 2.0L Diesel · KS61 VUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding the front suspension assembly. While the most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 94,915 miles passed, it followed a failure just one mile prior due to worn suspension arm bushes and lighting issues. The persistent presence of worn front arm pins and bushes across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that these components are reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive attention. At 94,915 miles over fourteen years, the car has averaged approximately 6,780 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 7,594 miles covered between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, yet the recurring failures show that the rubber components and metal springs are failing due to age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record flags a fractured offside front coil spring in May 2024, and the worn arm bushes have remained an advisory or failure for three consecutive years. You should check for signs of tearing in the rubber bushings and excessive play in the control arms to avoid unpredictable handling or uneven tyre. The previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2025 suggests that protective boots throughout the front end are beginning to perish.
