2013 Citroen DS4 1.6L Diesel · YN63 DNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test on May 7, 2026 at 105,440 miles, it failed just one month prior due to an ABS fault and insufficient washer fluid. The recurring presence of front brake discs being pitted and scored across the last three tests suggests that the owner only addresses components when they reach a failure threshold rather than performing scheduled replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There was a significant period of use of 5,000 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by nearly 9,000 miles between March 2025 and May 2026. This recent acceleration in mileage indicates the car is being used more frequently, which accelerates the wear on consumables like the brakes and tyres, leading to the recent cluster of failures noted in the record. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a history of thin pads, binding calipers, and corroded discs. The ABS warning lamp noted in April 2026 requires a diagnostic check to ensure the sensor or module fault has been properly rectified rather than just temporarily cleared. Additionally, the repeated mention of nails in the tyres in 2025 suggests a lack of attention to basic maintenance, necessitating a thorough check of current tread depth and sidew integrity across all tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life.
