2017 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · EX67 ADU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, the most recent on 2026-04-02 at 29,836 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the owner has addressed minor wear promptly, though the low mileage of 29,836 over nine years raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows irregular accumulation, with a 6,168-mile increase between the 2022-03-30 test (12,682 miles) and 2023-04-06 (18,850 miles), followed by a slower 7,178-mile rise to 26,028 by 2024-04-05. Subsequent annual increments of 2,000 and 1,812 miles suggest reduced activity, which could correlate with periods of inactivity. While this may indicate lighter use, it also risks understeering wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers if the vehicle was parked for extended durations. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common in low-mileage vehicles with infrequent use. Check for corrosion around the exhaust system, as stagnant operation can accelerate rust. Despite the clean MOT history, the lack of recent high-mileage wear means critical components like brake discs and steering linkages should be visually assessed for dryness or cracking. The vehicle’s structural integrity remains untested in the record, so a professional inspection of the chassis and underbody is advisable.
