2017 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · NA17 AEJ

The DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 19 December 2025 at 51,249 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from 26 November 2021 through 19 December 2025 each resulted in a clean pass, suggesting prior keepers addressed any emerging wear before it became notifiable and did not defer basic consumables. The vehicle is nine years old with 51,249 recorded miles, averaging roughly 5,694 miles per year against its age. The early records show steady use, with the 26 November 2021 test at 24,012 miles, the 3 December 2022 test at 31,855 miles, the 1 December 2023 test at 39,525 miles, and the 10 December 2024 test at 49,506 miles. A marked slowdown appears in the final interval, where the odometer climbed only 1,743 miles to the December 2025 reading. Such low recent accumulation implies extended periods of standing rather than daily driving. Despite the absence of flagged faults, the tester issued no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion across the history. The minimal mileage in the last twelve months raises the risk of seized brake components or flat-spotted tyres through inactivity. A buyer should physically examine the underbody for rust, check brake calipers and discs for binding, and assess suspension bushes for perishing. Verify the tyres for sidewall cracking and uneven wear before purchase.
