2018 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · KR02 AMY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-07 at 50,434 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, prior tests in 2024-10-08 and 2024-02-27 show conflicting outcomes—both dates list a pass and a fail with no defects recorded. This inconsistency may reflect administrative errors or minor issues resolved between tests. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test suggests no immediate safety risks, but the repeated failures without details warrant scrutiny. Mileage progression shows a sharp increase from 38,001 miles in February 2024 to 46,055 miles by October 2024, an 8,054-mile rise over eight months. This exceeds the average annual mileage of 6,304, potentially indicating heavier usage or periods of inactivity. The lack of defects in the 2025-08 test implies no critical issues, but the rapid mileage growth could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. The sparse defect data limits definitive conclusions about long-term reliability. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Check brake discs for uneven wear and calipers for binding, as these are common in high-mileage vehicles. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around joints, and assess tyre tread depth, as inconsistent maintenance may have affected these consumables. The absence of structural corrosion reports is positive, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm integrity.
