2011 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · SL61 FSK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following MOT failures. The most recent test on 17 October 2022 at 89,256 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just four days prior. This suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any immediate issues raised by the testing centre. However, because no MOT has been recorded for nearly four years since that last entry, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and likely degraded significantly due to the lapse in time. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,950 miles per year. The data shows a consistent but slow accumulation, moving from 76,657 miles in August 2020 to 89,256 miles by October 2022 over a twenty-month period. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid contamination. The lack of recorded data since late 2022 suggests the car may have sat stationary for a significant period, which increases the risk of seized brake calipers or internal corrosion. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components affected by age and low-mileage use. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, while also inspecting the suspension bushes for cracking. Given the age of the Citroen DS4, the structural integrity of the sills and rear underbody should be examined for corrosion. Since the MOT record is now severely outdated, a thorough check of the tyres for depth and age is essential to ensure no major mechanical failures have developed during the recent period of lapsed testing.
