2013 Citroen DS4 1.6L Petrol · LG63 NPV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 31,480 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory regarding perishing or cracking on both front tyres. This follows three years of clean records between 2021 and 2024, indicating that the car has avoided significant mechanical or structural failures during this period. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 21,573 miles and September 2025 at 31,480 miles, the car covered only 9,907 miles. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent rate of use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts which do not correlate with distance traveled alone. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre condition, specifically checking for sidewall cracking, as the 2025 advisory suggests the rubber is failing despite potentially having sufficient tread. Given the low mileage, the tester should also check for brake corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Inspecting the suspension bushes and the exhaust system for rust is also necessary to ensure the low usage hasn't allowed these components to become brittle or perished over time.
