2017 DS DS3 1.6L Diesel · DV17 RGZ

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 18 March 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This outcome aligns with a consistent trend of compliance over the past four years, indicating that the vehicle has been well-maintained and currently meets all statutory roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories across multiple consecutive tests suggests that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance rather than reactive repairs. The recorded mileage of 86,080 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 9,564 miles per annum, which is entirely consistent with typical UK usage patterns. The progression of mileage between the 2023 test at 65,400 miles and the 2026 test shows a steady, predictable rate of accumulation. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage motorway use that would otherwise accelerate the degradation of specific drivetrain components. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of consumable items not always captured by the annual test. You should verify the remaining life on the brake discs and pads, as these components frequently reach their wear limits between inspections. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these are common wear points on the DS3 platform at this mileage. Confirm the status of the timing belt service interval, as this is a critical maintenance item that falls outside the scope of an MOT but is essential for the longevity of the engine.
