AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 DS DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 97,762 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 24 April 2024 at 94,277 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or faults have accumulated across the latest two cycles. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,776 miles per year. The records show 76,281 miles at the 22 July 2022 test, rising to 91,091 by 15 May 2023, then 94,277 in April 2024 and 97,762 in April 2025. The jump between mid-2022 and mid-2023 reflects around 14,800 miles in under ten months, after which annual accumulation slowed to nearer 3,500 miles, indicating lighter recent use. The history is sparse and clean, with only a failed entry on 22 April 2024 at 94,277 miles that was reversed two days later with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation error rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and near-100,000-mile threshold, despite no advisories being raised. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant checks in wheel arches and sills, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of early-stage rust. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic consumable upkeep current, though the two-day fail-pass anomaly in April 2024 should be clarified with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect.
