2012 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · ML12 YHA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 12 June 2025 at 114,038 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, with the record showing no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. This lack of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,146 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 90,505 to 103,527 miles. A smaller increase of 10,511 miles occurred between June 2024 and June 2025. These figures indicate steady, regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle with over 100,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust and check the condition of the coil springs. These areas are common failure points for this model and may not have been highlighted if they have not yet reached a critical failure threshold. A manual check of the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns is recommended. Given the clean MOT history, the focus should shift to service records to confirm that oil changes and timing belt intervals have been adhered to, as the DVSA record only confirms the minimum legal safety standards rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
