2017 DS DS3 1.6L Diesel · AF67 DLJ

The 2017 DS DS3 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 53,959 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since the earliest entry in this history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 26,970 miles at the 3 February 2022 test, rising to 34,532 miles by 2 February 2023, then 46,583 miles on 29 January 2024, and 53,959 miles in May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, well below the national average. The gaps between tests are close to twelve months each, with no sudden accumulation or unexplained jumps, and the sparse clean record gives no cause for concern over skipped maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free history. Low annual mileage and the 2022 to 2024 layoffs between tests suggest the car may have stood unused for periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop flat spots, and underbody corrosion to begin unseen. The MOT tester recorded no structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, but DVSA checks do not strip panels or assess suspension bushes under load. Given the absence of recorded advisories on coil springs, brake discs, or suspension components, the previous owner appears to have kept the vehicle to a sound standard. Verify the service book matches the low mileage, and check for intermittent fluid leaks or degraded rubber mounts that a static test would miss.
