2016 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · VX66 SOC

High Risk of Safety and Repair Emergence Most Recent MOT Outcome The 2025-09-18 inspection passed with a Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement, noting both sides. This indicates the most recent check is currently stable, though the wear pattern suggests the issue is a gradual progression rather than an acute failure. Mechanical Pattern The recurring mechanical pattern is a progressive failure of the front lower suspension components. The history shows a clear trend of increasing wear on these parts over the past five years. This suggests the condition is worsening rather than stable. Condition Trend The condition trend is worsening. The vehicle is 10 years old, yet it has only 34,200 miles recorded, which is low for its age. This implies that the wear is likely due to hard use or periods of under-use rather than normal aging. The wear on the suspension arm pin or bush is likely accelerating as the vehicle ages. Mileage Context The mileage relative to age is ambiguous.
