2016 DS DS31.2L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-10 at 49,745 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2025-05-13 (47,008 miles) and 2024-05-20 (42,792 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on the same date (2024-05-20) at 42,792 miles is recorded, though no defects are listed, which may reflect administrative error or a technical anomaly. Overall, the trend from 2023 to 2025 shows no recurring mechanical faults, implying reliable performance. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,745 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,974 miles annually, significantly lower than average. This pattern suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust systems. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 12-month interval between 2023-05-27 (38,851 miles) and 2024-05-20 (42,792 miles), which may indicate irregular servicing. The absence of defects in recent tests offsets some concerns, but low mileage does not eliminate risks associated with stagnant mechanical systems. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles often experience uneven wear. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was stored for long periods. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for rust, and the battery’s condition should be verified, as inactivity can degrade it. No structural corrosion or major faults are flagged in the record, but a hands-on inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
