DS DS32016 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 68,110 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of perfect records suggests that the previous owners have been proactive regarding vehicle upkeep and have addressed mechanical or safety concerns before they could result in a formal MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between the April 2022 test at 44,357 miles and the 2026 test at 68,110 miles, the car covered 23,753 miles, maintaining a steady usage profile. This low annual mileage relative to the vehicle age typically implies less strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly, though it can also mean rubber components age faster than on high-mileage city vehicles. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults like structural corrosion or braking system failures, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items specific to the DS3. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as low-use cars can sometimes develop perished rubber over time. Checking the brake discs for pitting and ensuring the pads have sufficient remaining life is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for immediate binding calipers or dangerous thickness issues.
