2013 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · LM63 PYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 80,436 miles. However, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The failure just one day prior to that test indicates a significant lapse in safety-critical inspections, involving exposed cords on the offside front tyre, a split drive shaft boot, and a fractured nearside front coil spring. While these issues were addressed immediately to secure a pass, the frequency of failures suggests the owner only performs repairs when a test failure is imminent. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,187 miles per year. There is a steady progression in usage from 29,566 miles in 2016 to the current 80,436 miles in 2025. The intervals between tests are generally regular, though the gap between late 2020 and late 2021 shows a period of higher usage. The relatively low annual mileage for its age often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and drivetrain, as the record shows recurring issues with coil springs and CV boots. The braking system has a history of wear, with thin pads and lipped discs noted as far back as 2017, and appearing again in 2020. Furthermore, the frequent reports of tyres with deep cuts, nails, and uneven wear suggest a lack of attention to consumable maintenance. A physical check of the shock absorbers for leaks and the integrity of the suspension bushes is necessary to ensure the previous damage has not progressed into wider structural failure.
