2015 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · FL65 FDN

The DS3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 49,238 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history. The September 2023 pass at 39,757 miles, the September 2024 cycle, and the September 2025 cycle all show clean results with no advisories logged against suspension, brakes, exhaust, or structure. The recorded mileage of 49,238 against an 11-year-old car equates to circa 4,476 miles per year, confirming light use. The DVSA log shows 39,757 miles in September 2023, rising to 46,141 by September 2024, then 49,238 by September 2025. That is roughly 6,400 miles in year one and 3,100 in year two, a gentle decline in annual use. The two failed entries on 23 September 2024 and 26 September 2025 both carry zero recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults, with immediate clean passes issued days later. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items that low-mileage, periodically standing cars degrade through age rather than use. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and confirm brake discs are free of corrosion pitting after standing periods. The tester noted no structural integrity issues or corrosion, so the chassis appears sound on paper. Given the sparse, clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic passing standard without deferred major work. Verify service history matches the low annual mileage, and inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear.
