2016 DS DS31.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The October 2025 test at 75,065 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness through its most recent service interval. While the July 2024 failure at 68,632 miles suggests a minor non-compliance was identified, the subsequent pass in October 2024 shows the issue was rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern. The vehicle has covered approximately 7,500 miles per year, moving from 54,760 miles in August 2022 to 75,065 miles in October 2025. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals. Because the MOT history shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the structural integrity appears sound based on the recorded data. However, the single failure in mid-2024 warrants a physical inspection of the components that typically cause such failures, specifically the braking system or tyre tread depth. A buyer should verify that the brake discs and pads show even wear and that no binding calipers are present. Given the consistent mileage, the vehicle is at an age where consumable items like timing belts, water pumps, and suspension arm bushings may require inspection regardless of a clean MOT. The lack of advisories regarding emissions or exhaust corrosion is a positive indicator of engine health and structural upkeep. Focus the physical inspection on the underside of the chassis to ensure no significant surface rust has developed since the last recorded test.
