2016 DS DS5 PRESTIGE BLUEHDI S/S2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its clean recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 30 March 2026 at 90,113 miles returned no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. While the vehicle failed a test on 2 February 2025 at 83,710 miles, the subsequent retest just three days later passed without defects, suggesting a minor rectifyable issue was quickly addressed rather than a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 63,125 miles and January 2024 at 74,475 miles, the car covered over 11,000 miles, showing standard usage levels. The more recent interval of 6,307 miles between February 2025 and March 2026 is also typical. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently, which is beneficial for preventing seal seal and component degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Given that the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent brake issues, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear and tear for a car of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often begin to degrade around the 90,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for thinning or pitting and ensuring there are no binding calipers is advisable, as the MOT does not always measure the remaining life of components beyond the legal minimum limit.
