2016 DS DS3 1.6L Petrol · LO16 OFP

The DS3 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 26 November 2025 at 35,004 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across its recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though a failure was logged five days earlier on 21 November 2025 at 35,002 miles with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or structural concerns appear in any entry from 2023 to 2025. Annual mileage sits at roughly 3,500 per year against a ten-year-old car, confirmed by the record: 24,079 miles in September 2023, 27,622 by August 2024, 28,444 in December 2024, and 35,004 by November 2025. The jump of about 6,500 miles between December 2024 and November 2025 is the largest single interval and suggests a period of heavier use late in the year. Prior to that the accumulation was gentle. The clean sheet across all five tests means the DVSA data gives no evidence of skipped consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low standing mileage, which can permit corrosion or seized components unseen by MOT testers on a short road test. The November 2025 fail with no defects recorded warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason code to rule out a documentation error. Otherwise the history implies a carefully kept vehicle with no recurring wear trends requiring corrective action before purchase.
