2018 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · BK18 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-21 at 56,057 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, but a conflicting FAILED entry on the same date and mileage raises questions about data accuracy. Previous tests in 2024 and 2023 showed similar patterns, with no defects noted. The absence of recorded issues in all tests suggests a stable maintenance history, though the duplicate entries for the same date and mileage may indicate administrative errors. No structural, suspension, or braking concerns were flagged, implying consistent care. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,057 miles over 8 years aligns with an average of 7,007 miles annually, typical for its age. The 2023 test at 33,561 miles and 2024 test at 47,350 miles show gradual accumulation, with a 13,789-mile gap between tests. The 2025 test at 56,057 miles followed a shorter 8,707-mile interval, suggesting regular use. No anomalies in wear or corrosion were recorded, and the clean MOT history implies no urgent mechanical risks. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s service records and inspect for signs of uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. While no defects were noted, the repeated MOT entries for the same date and mileage warrant clarification. A physical inspection of the exhaust system, brake components, and underbody for rust or damage is advisable, as these areas are critical for long-term reliability. The lack of recorded issues is positive, but the data inconsistencies may require further investigation.
