2017 DS DS4 1.6L Diesel · PR65 BAT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 14 February 2026 at 64,661 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by instant passes. The failure on 13 February 2026, just 8 miles prior to the pass, showed no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative error at the testing centre or a minor non-mechanical issue such as a blown bulb or wiper blade that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,185 miles per annum. Between February 2024 at 52,653 miles and February 2025 at 58,552 miles, the car covered 5,899 miles. The subsequent year saw 6,109 miles recorded up to the 2026 test. This steady low mileage suggests light use, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to dry rot in rubber components or seized brake seals. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to age-related degradation. Since the records have not flagged suspension bushes or corrosion, a buyer should manually check for cracks in the control arms and signs of rust on the underbody. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the braking system that a standard MOT test might not fully expose.
