DS DS32016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 03 September 2025 at 48,499 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical concerns identified in earlier tests have been addressed. This clean pass suggests the current owner is proactive in performing necessary repairs following the brake system issues noted in 2024. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per annum. Between August 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 18,867 miles, showing consistent but low-impact usage patterns. The intervals between tests are regular with annual operation. This low mileage typically implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on braking surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between drives. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 43,627 miles flagged thin front pads and worn front discs along with pitted and scored rear discs. While the 2025 pass suggests these were replaced, a physical check should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the rotors for signs of uneven wear. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect for surface corrosion on the calipers and discs, as these components often age through time rather than through mileage in low-use vehicles.
