2019 DS DS7 1.6L Petrol · N70 DNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-02-11, passing with advisories related to tyre wear and windscreen wipers. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning deterioration in tyre condition over the past year, with all three rear tyres and the offside front tyre approaching or at the legal limit in consecutive tests. This suggests either aggressive driving, improper alignment, or prolonged neglect of tyre rotation and inspection. While the brakes were flagged as thin in 2023, they have not been retested since, so their current condition remains uncertain. The mileage progression from 26,558 miles in November 2022 to 55,415 miles in February 2026 indicates an average annual usage of approximately 9,600 miles, which is slightly above average for a seven-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 MOTs is relatively short, but the 2023 to 2025 interval shows a significant jump in mileage, suggesting either a period of heavy use or a potential data entry error. The 2025 test at 44,856 miles revealed only one rear tyre near the legal limit, but the 2026 tests show all three rear tyres and the offside front tyre in similar condition, indicating a rapid decline in tyre health. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as uneven tyre wear can often stem from alignment or suspension issues. The front brake pads should be checked for wear and condition, especially given the prior warning about thin pads. The rear brake pads were previously noted as close to the legal limit, so a full brake system assessment is recommended. Additionally, inspect the windscreen wipers and the condition of the windscreen itself, as poor visibility is a critical safety concern. Finally, examine the undercarriage for signs of corrosion or structural damage, as these can develop over time and may not be immediately apparent.
