2017 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · CK67 AEJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 54,573 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,064 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2023 test at 42,006 miles and the November 2025 test at 54,573 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,000 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or abnormal wear. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. While the records show failures on 12 October 2023 and 9 October 2024, these were resolved on the same day with no specific faults listed in the final pass results. This often indicates minor administrative issues or quick-fix consumables rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear items that the MOT may not have flagged as critical. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for pitting or thinning, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing. Given the age of the car, a thorough check for underside corrosion and the condition of the tyre treads is advised to ensure the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the basic requirements of the annual test.
