AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2026‑01‑30 MOT at 114,292 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy. Earlier tests alternated between pass and fail, but each pass showed no recorded defects, indicating that any previous issues were remedied before retesting and that the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. The mileage of 114,292 at 13 years averages 8,792 miles per year, which is typical for the model. The period from September 2024 to November 2024 saw only 32 miles recorded, suggesting limited use, while the increase from 100,088 miles in September 2023 to 106,509 miles in September 2024 represents about 6,400 miles in a year, indicating more regular driving during that interval. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake calipers and discs for binding or excessive wear, and look for structural rust or corrosion in the wheel arches and chassis, as these components are common failure points on a 2013 DS3 of this age. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the intermittent testing pattern implies that previous owners may have addressed minor advisories, so a thorough physical inspection is essential to verify that the recorded clean results reflect the actual condition of wear‑prone parts.
