2017 DS DS5 2.0L Diesel · HH03 AJH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 45,182 miles passed, it noted an advisory for rear brake discs being pitted and scored. This represents a progression from the February 2025 test where these same components were flagged as failures. Although the car has passed, the recurring nature of these faults suggests components are only addressed once they reach legal thresholds. At nine years of age, the recorded mileage of 45,182 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage often contributes to the issues seen in the record, such as surface corrosion on brake discs due to long periods of sitting. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered roughly 9,100 miles, yet it failed the test due to exposed cords on the front tyres. This confirms the vehicle may be suffering from age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering system, as the several rack inner joints showed consistent play across the 2024 and 2025 tests. While the steering was cleared in the 2025 pass, a physical check is necessary to ensure no new play has entered the assembly. The rear braking system also requires close attention; the transition from a failure in 2025 to an advisory in 2026 indicates the discs are thinning or corroding and will likely require replacement soon. Additionally, verify the current tyres for uneven wear, as the history shows the previous owner repeatedly allowed them to run to the legal limit.
