2014 Citroen DS4 2.0L Diesel · NV64 ACU

The 2014 Citroën DS4 has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2025-05-09, where it passed without any defects at 76,047 miles. This indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year, with no recurring issues or advisories to suggest mechanical neglect or deferred maintenance. The absence of failings—even minor—across five consecutive tests (including a rare duplicate entry in January 2023) suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards. However, the lack of advisories or minor faults in recent records means there is no historical data to guide specific pre-purchase inspections beyond standard wear-and-tear checks. The mileage progression of 76,047 miles today reflects an average of approximately 6,337 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation; the most significant jump occurred between January 2023 (65,202 miles) and May 2024 (72,996 miles), covering roughly 7,794 miles in under a year. This rate is consistent with moderate usage rather than excessive wear, though it still places the vehicle at the higher end of expected mileage for its class. The absence of long periods of inactivity—such as extended gaps where mileage stagnated—implies the car has been regularly driven, which generally benefits suspension and drivetrain longevity. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and track rods, as these are prone to fatigue over 12 years and 76,000 miles. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in older vehicles that may not always trigger an MOT failure. Structural integrity is another concern; check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are often overlooked but can compromise safety. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, especially at joints and mounts, as leaks or detachment risks are not always picked up in MOT tests. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas require hands-on assessment to confirm they have been properly maintained.
