2017 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · EX67 AED

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-10-08 MOT at 45,683 miles. Subsequent tests from 2024-10-15 (39,764 miles) and 2022-11-07 (30,141 miles) also showed passing results with no issues. The 2021-11-22 test at 26,608 miles similarly passed without defects. This consistent record suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The mileage of 45,683 miles over nine years equates to an average of 5,076 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual average. A notable jump occurred between 2022-11-07 (30,141 miles) and 2024-10-15 (39,764 miles), reflecting an increase of 9,623 miles over 19 months. This could indicate a shift in usage patterns, though no defects arose from this period. The absence of recorded issues in all tests suggests the vehicle has not suffered undue wear despite the low mileage, though prolonged inactivity may have affected components like tyres or fluid systems. A buyer should verify the car’s storage history, as low mileage may mask hidden issues from long-term standing. Inspect tyres for dry rot, suspension components for stiffness, and brake systems for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was parked for extended periods. The MOT record shows no structural rust or suspension failures, but the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits insight into minor wear. A physical inspection should focus on fluid levels, battery condition, and steering/knuckle joints to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT’s scope.
