2018 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · EX67 ACY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 July 2025 at 54,568 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, following a string of clean results. This lack of recurring mechanical failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical safety and emissions components are currently operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 44,395 miles and July 2025 at 54,568 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles in eighteen months, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation. The interval between tests shows some variation, with the early test in January 2025 suggesting the owner did not miss the annual deadlines, which is a positive indicator of the vehicle's long-term care. While the recent history is exemplary, the buyer should note the single failure on 14 January 2023 at 36,960 miles. Although the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, it indicates a specific mechanical issue required urgent attention at that time. Given the clean records since that date, a physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of age-related perish or cracking, as low mileage can sometimes lead to rubber components hardening before they wear out. Checking the brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear is also advisable to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects the actual state of the braking system.
