2015 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · DA65 RGY

The 2015 DS DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 October 2024 at 78,261 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests in November 2022, November 2023, and October 2024 also passed clean. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the chain, which indicates the previous keeper addressed consumable and mechanical wear before each examination. Mileage sits at a typical 7,115 miles per year for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 61,749 miles on 21 June 2022, rising to 61,755 miles the next day after a failed test with no defects logged, then 66,293 miles by 4 November 2022 and 73,042 miles by 2 November 2023. The sparse but clean history suggests light use and routine testing rather than neglected storage or high-speed accumulation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not rule out early surface rust on sills or subframes. The brake calipers, coil springs, and suspension arms should be checked for binding or fatigue that a short road test might miss. The single failure on 21 June 2022 at 61,749 miles with no defects recorded points to an administrative or equipment error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, confirmed by the immediate pass one day later. Previous ownership appears disciplined on statutory upkeep, though in-person checks on tyre sidewall condition and wiper operation remain sensible before purchase.
