2016 DS DS4 1.6L Diesel · PL65 GJJ

The vehicle demonstrates a strong record of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 77,112 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a positive trend of three consecutive clean passes since 2023, indicating that the vehicle has been well-maintained and free of recurring mechanical or structural issues in recent years. The absence of advisories during these tests suggests that the owner has addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing minor faults to accumulate. The recorded mileage of 77,112 miles over a ten-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The accumulation rate shows a notable increase between April 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered approximately 21,300 miles in sixteen months, followed by a more moderate 7,397 miles over the subsequent year leading to the most recent test. This consistent usage profile is preferable to long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the engine and drivetrain components have remained in regular operation. The January 2022 failure at 35,576 miles for worn brake pads and a sub-legal tyre tread depth represents the only recorded intervention in the history. While these are standard consumable items, their simultaneous failure suggests a period where routine maintenance may have been deferred. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the current brake discs and pads, as well as the age and remaining tread depth on all four tyres, to ensure the recent clean passes reflect genuine mechanical health rather than minimal compliance. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should also focus on the condition of suspension bushes and potential corrosion on the subframe, as these components often begin to show signs of fatigue after 75,000 miles.
