2022 DS DS4 Rivoli Puretech S/S Auto 1.6L Petrol · LD72 RYP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 July 2026 with no defects recorded. Based on the available history, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. The only recorded issue across the vehicle's testing history was a minor advisory regarding a nail in the offside rear tyre during the 2025 inspection, which is a common puncture event rather than an indication of mechanical neglect or systemic failure. With a recorded mileage of 31,762 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,940 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern executive hatchback, suggesting the car has been used regularly without excessive strain or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this mileage is low enough that major component wear should be minimal, though it enters the phase where initial factory consumables begin to reach their mid-life cycle. Given the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on age-related maintenance and the specific requirements of the PureTech powertrain. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct calendar intervals, as the timing belt system in these engines is sensitive to oil quality. During a test drive, listen for any unusual rhythmic rattling or ticking from the engine bay upon cold start and check for any evidence of oil seepage around the engine seals. Further attention should be paid to the condition of the tyres and braking system. While the MOT is clean, check the tyre sidewalls for any perishing or cracking and ensure the tread depth is consistent across both axles to rule out alignment issues. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or lip formation and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm without shudder, which would indicate warping. Finally, verify the health of the 12V battery and the operation of the start-stop system to ensure the electrical system is functioning optimally.
