2021 DS DS71.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT on 09 July 2026 at 39,981 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the minor issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The clean pass suggests that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and environmental requirements without immediate mechanical intervention required. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the July 2024 test at 20,581 miles and the July 2025 test at 30,416 miles, the car covered 9,835 miles, followed by another 9,565 miles leading to the latest test. This steady usage profile suggests typical wear on consumable components without the accelerated degradation associated with high-mileage or long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should focus specifically on the nearside rear tyre, as this component showed cracking and perishing in both 2024 and 2025. While the 2026 test shows no defects, the history of sidewall damage suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or was fitted with low-quality rubber. The previous obstruction of the adult seat belt due to a child seat in 2024 and 2025 also warrants a physical check to ensure the belting mechanism and tensioner are free of fraying or mechanical damage.
