How many Citroen DS4 cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 9,044 licensed and 731 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Citroen DS4 generic-model group.

Looking at a DS4?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular DS4 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the DS4 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 11,962 in 2017 Q3 and stand at 9,044 in 2026 Q1, down 24%. That is down 20% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 731 are declared SORN — 1 in 13 of the 9,775 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

DS4 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 55.3% of 9,790 Citroen DS4 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 62.1% of cars aged 6–9 years passed first time, against 54.4% aged 10–14 years.

  • Transmission — 9.5% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Registration Plate Lamp(s) — 8.7% of tests. The light over the number plate is out. A bulb.
  • Springs — 8.4% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
  • Headlamp Aim — 7% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
