2022 DS DS7 Crossback Rivoli Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · CA22 XTJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of neglected consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 65,250 miles flagged both the offside and nearside front tyres as being close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This mirrors the advisory from the 23 May 2025 test at 39,516 miles, where the nearside rear tyre was also noted worn. The failure to address these issues between tests suggests the owner is delaying routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,300 miles per year. Between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests, the car covered 25,734 miles, representing a rapid accumulation indicating consistent long-distance use. Such high mileage typically accelerates the wear on suspension components, bushings, and braking hardware. While the record is clean of major structural or mechanical failures, the high usage puts significant strain on the PHEV drivetrain and electronic braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's suspension and tyre alignment. The recurring edge wear on multiple tyres strongly indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not yet been rectified. You should also inspect the brake discs for uneven thinning and check for binding calipers, as high mileage often leads to accelerated component degradation. Given the pattern of neglect, verifying the service history for oil changes and hybrid system cooling is essential to ensure the high-mileage engine has been treated according to manufacturer specifications.
