2020 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · HS69 ANF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, with the maintenance trend showing signs of reactive care. The most recent MOT test on 31 July 2025 at 61,449 miles passed without defects, although a child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This represents a stable improvement over the August 2024 test where rear brake components were flagged, suggesting the owner is addressing mechanical issues as they arise. At 61,449 miles over six years, the DS3 averages approximately 10,240 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small hatchback. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 6,200 miles covered between the August 2024 and July 2025 tests, and another 6,700 miles between August 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits internal seals and rubber components. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system during a physical evaluation given the history of wear. The March 2023 test identified both front brake discs as worn with low pads, followed by pitted and scored rear discs in August 2024. While these have passed since, the recurring nature of disc surface issues suggests the owner may be replacing components or the calipers are beginning to bind. Additionally, the 2023 advisories regarding rear tyres worn to 3mm on the edges indicate a pattern of deferred consumable replacement, necessitating a thorough check of current tread depth and alignment across all four wheels.
