2018 DS DS7 C-Back Pfrmnc LN Bhdi SS A 2.0L Diesel · KS18 WMW

The roadworthiness status of this vehicle is currently sound, supported by an improving trend in recent test outcomes. In the July 2025 test at 58,477 miles, the vehicle passed with zero defects, mirroring clean passes in July 2024 and August 2023. This spotless sequence follows an anomalous initial test failure recorded on August 15, 2022, which was immediately rectified and resulted in a clear pass the following day on August 16, 2022. Because no specific defect was logged against that failed test in the data, the historical hiccup remains an isolated procedural event rather than an indicator of chronic mechanical decay. The odometer progression aligns closely with age expectations, showing moderate and consistent usage without long periods of inactivity or severe mileage spikes. The vehicle accumulated mileage from zero at registration in 2018 up to the recorded 58,477 miles by July 2025, averaging roughly 7,300 miles annually. Gaps between tests adhere strictly to standard annual intervals, confirming the vehicle has remained in regular commission on UK roads. The data displays a remarkably sparse advisory record, showing none of the typical recurring alerts for suspension wear or tyre degradation that often plague modern crossovers of this age. Physical inspection should focus heavily on the mechanical underside and consumable items, despite the lack of historical advisories. Buyers must check the condition of the brake discs and pads for scoring or lip formation, as high-mileage commuting often accelerates friction material wear. Furthermore, a thorough examination of the suspension dampers, coil springs, and lower control arm bushes is necessary to catch latent wear before it manifests as an MOT failure. Testing the electronic handbrake and verifying the operation of the diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle will round out a prudent pre-purchase assessment for this model.
