2016 DS DS3 1.6L Diesel · CX66 VPO

The DS3 presents as roadworthy following the September 2025 test at 102,968 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with every annual examination from 2023 onwards showing clean results once the vehicle cleared its initial failure on the same day. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the data. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, rising from 72,816 miles at the September 2023 test to 86,744 miles in September 2024 and 102,968 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles per year over the last two intervals, marginally above the 10,297 annual average implied by the total. The record shows no standing gaps; each test falls within a tight September window, suggesting the previous owner maintained a consistent yearly booking pattern. The two same-day failures in September 2024 at 86,741 miles and September 2025 at 102,967 miles carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and structural corrosion given the car has passed 100,000 miles. Verify the exhaust emissions and binding calipers during a road test, as high-mileage urban use on a DS3 commonly accelerates consumable wear not captured by a defect-free MOT.
