Used Citroen DS4 for sale in Europe

About the Citroen DS4

The DS4 is a compact five-door car from Citroën's premium DS line. It mixes a hatchback body with a coupé-style roofline and raised ride height. The rear door handles are hidden in the pillar, and on the first generation the rear side windows are fixed shut.

The first generation was sold with petrol and diesel engines and with manual or automatic gearboxes. It suits drivers who want a distinctive alternative to a standard family hatchback and who mostly carry one or two passengers.

Later cars carry the DS badge instead of Citroën. The second-generation DS 4 from 2021 is a different car on a newer platform. It adds plug-in hybrid versions alongside petrol and diesel, which is why hybrids appear in the listings.

What to check when buying a used Citroen DS4

Ask for the full service history and check that mileage is consistent across invoices, MOT-style tests and the dashboard. Take a test drive of at least 30 minutes, including a cold start.

• Timing chain and oil · 1.6 THP petrol

  Owners and workshops often discuss timing chain stretch and oil consumption on the turbo 1.6 petrol. Listen for rattles on a cold start, check the oil level and ask for proof of regular oil changes.

• Particulate filter and EGR · Diesel engines

  Diesels used mainly for short trips can have clogged particulate filters and EGR valves. Look for warning lights, rough running or smoke, and ask whether the car has regular longer runs and a service record.

• Gearbox shift quality · EGS6 automated manual

  The automated manual gearbox can feel jerky by design, but harsh or hesitant changes and clutch smell deserve attention. Test pulling away on a slope and in traffic, and ask what gearbox work has been done.

• Glass and interior wear · First generation

  The large windscreen can show chips or cracks. Rear side windows are fixed, so check ventilation suits you. Look at seat bolsters, switchgear and trim for wear that does not match the mileage.

• Hybrid system and charging · Second generation plug-in hybrid

  On E-Tense versions, check for warning messages, software update records and that the charging cable and socket are present and undamaged. Ask for a full demonstration of both electric and petrol operation.

• Electrics and suspension

  Test every window, lock, screen function and parking aid. On the road, listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear, which can point to worn suspension parts or poor alignment.
