2019 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · DU19 NBZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its documented service history. The most recent test on May 6, 2025 at 20,346 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative or a simple consumable issue that was addressed quickly prior to the retest, as the record shows a clean sweep of passes across the previous three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 7,925 miles and January 2024 at 16,053 miles, the car covered over 8,000 miles in nearly twenty months, followed by another 4,300 miles leading up to the May 2025 test. This low usage typically indicates minimal wear on mechanical components like the engine and gearbox, though it also increases risks of component degradation if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their inspection on areas associated with low-mileage storage, such as flat spotting on tyres, corrosion on the brake discs, and perished rubber bushings in the suspension. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, the primary integrity of the chassis appears sound. However, a check of fluid levels and the condition of brake seals is essential, as low-use vehicles can suffer from moisture ingress or seal shrinkage that a standard MOT does not always capture.
