2021 DS DS3 1.5L Diesel · CF21 RYK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 October 2025 at 16,966 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last three years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a good standard without any recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,40 miles per annum. Between the October 2023 test at 13,419 miles and the October 2024 test at 15,053 miles, the car covered only 1,634 miles, followed by another 1,913 miles in the subsequent year. This low annual usage suggests short-distance urban driving or long periods of being stationary, which significantly alters the typical wear cycle of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. While the MOT record shows no faults, a physical inspection should target specific areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. Low usage can sometimes lead to brake disc flat spotting or corrosion on the rotors if the vehicle is not used frequently to generate heat. The buyer should also check the rubber components and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of the limited distance driven. Given the low mileage, verifying that service intervals have been followed according to time rather than just distance is critical to ensuring engine health.
