2018 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · BF18 AEE

The 2018 DS DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 April 2025 at 48,652 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2023 and 2024 also closed as passes, though both those years opened with a failed attempt on the exact same date and mileage as the subsequent pass, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were ever logged. The odometer shows 48,652 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,082 miles per annum, a figure consistent with typical private use for this model. The record charts 34,412 miles on 18 April 2023, 41,142 miles on 4 April 2024, and 48,652 miles on 9 April 2025, revealing an even annual accumulation near 6,700 miles with no dormant periods or sudden high-use spikes. Sparse yet clean history across all five entries suggests the vehicle saw routine testing without deferred intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT dataset omits advisory notes that commonly surface on lower-mileage cars after standing. The twin fail-pass pairs on 18 April 2023 and 4 April 2024 with zero defects recorded warrant verification of the VIN and test certificates to rule out clerical error at the garage. No corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns appear in the official record.
