2020 DS 3 Crossback Prestige EV Electric · WU20 WYY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-03-13 at 9,662 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates the car met roadworthiness standards at that time, but the absence of subsequent tests—over 16 months have elapsed since—limits the ability to confirm ongoing compliance. The low mileage of 9,662 miles for a six-year-old vehicle suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may impact components such as the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. No recurring issues were flagged in the available data, but the lack of recent inspection records raises questions about the vehicle’s current mechanical state. The mileage of 9,662 miles over six years equates to approximately 1,610 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for similar-aged vehicles. This pattern could indicate the car has been stored for extended periods, potentially leading to issues like corrosion in the exhaust system or stiffness in moving parts. The single MOT entry provides no historical context for wear on consumables such as tyres or brake components, as no prior tests are documented. While the low mileage may reduce wear on certain systems, it also means the vehicle’s mechanical health cannot be assessed beyond the 2025 inspection. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension, brakes, and underbody to identify signs of rust or corrosion, particularly if the car has been stationary. The battery, tyres, and fluid levels should also be checked for degradation. Although the MOT record shows no defects, the absence of recent data means critical components like the exhaust emissions system and structural integrity cannot be verified. Confirming the vehicle’s history of maintenance and addressing potential storage-related issues will be essential before purchase.
