2016 DS DS4 1.6L Diesel · KV16 BYP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 115,483 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,548 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2021 and April 2023, where the odometer rose from 61,954 to 90,285 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 12,073 miles between April 2024 and December 2025. These figures indicate regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a ten year old vehicle with over 115,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect high wear components that the MOT tester may have overlooked or deemed acceptable. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically degrade at this mileage. Check the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns, which would indicate alignment issues. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the record does not mention structural integrity. Given the lack of reported faults, the primary concern is whether the owner performed preventative maintenance or simply avoided failures. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic requirements of a roadworthiness test.
