2016 DS DS4 1.6L Petrol · MM66 AEU

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 32,893 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test indicates a decline in consumable upkeep compared to the previous three years of defect-free results. The tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing wear on the edges, suggesting a lapse in proactive replacement cycles following a long period of clean records. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, moving from 12,822 miles in 2019 to 32,893 miles in late 2025. This low mileage suggests that mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine have undergone minimal operational stress. However, such low annual mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber components, suspension bushings, and seized brake calipers if the car sits for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the recurring edge wear on tyres noted in both 2020 and 2025 often points to alignment issues or worn ball joints. Given the low usage, the brake discs and calipers should be checked for surface pitting or seized pistons, which frequently occur on vehicles that are not driven regularly. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures appeared in the history, the sudden transition from clean records to multiple tyre advisories necessitates immediate attention to the wheel assembly.
