2016 DS DS3 1.6L Diesel · DP16 CVK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 13 May 2026 at 87,875 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results over the last five years indicates that the owner has maintained the vehicle effectively and addressed any mechanical or safety issues before they could result in a failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,788 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 61,641 miles and the 2026 test at 87,875 miles, the car covered roughly 26,000 miles at steady intervals of about 6,500 miles annually. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the degradation of seals, hoses, or brake components often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no historical structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components that are not always flagged during a test. At nearly 88,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs may show signs of fatigue despite the clean MOT history. It is also worth checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the condition of the tyres, as the MOT only tests for minimum and safety rather than the remaining life of these consumable items.
