2017 DS DS3 1.6L Diesel · GR02 ADM

The DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 January 2026 at 91,341 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show a consistent clean bill of health apart from an anomalous failure on 27 January 2025 at 84,886 miles where the tester logged no defects before a pass later that same day at 84,888 miles. This pattern indicates no worsening mechanical condition and suggests diligent upkeep by previous keepers. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine year old vehicle. The record shows 68,973 miles at the 31 January 2023 test, rising to 79,559 miles by 2 February 2024, then 84,888 miles on 27 January 2025, and finally 91,341 miles on 27 January 2026. Annual accumulation averaged roughly ten thousand miles early in the timeline but slowed to around five to six thousand miles in the later intervals, reflecting lighter recent use. The sparse yet clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumable replacement or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of key wear items despite the absence of recorded advisories. The tester flagged no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or exhaust emissions faults across the timeline, but components such as tyres, wiper blades and flexible brake hoses degrade with age irrespective of mileage. Previous owners appear to have addressed statutory roadworthiness promptly, yet the 2025 duplicate test anomaly warrants verification of the vehicle's physical documentation to rule out clerical mismatch. Given the vehicle's age, scrutiny of underbody structural integrity and mounting points remains prudent. No recurrent faults emerge from the data, so the DS3 stands as a low risk purchase from a mechanical records standpoint, provided a pre sale visual check confirms the clean MOT narrative.
