2018 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · XY15 SYY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 30 April 2025 at 45,724 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet DVSA standards. Following a single failure in April 2023, the car has achieved two consecutive passes without advisories, suggesting that any previous issues were rectified and effectively maintained since. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,716 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 26,690 miles and May 2024 at 41,150 miles, the car covered 14,460 miles, which represents consistent but light usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-average examples. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sat stationary for long periods between tests. While the digital record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. The buyer should check for signs of perished suspension bushes or seized brake calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not used frequently. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests, the structural integrity and exhaust system appear to be in good condition, but verifying the age of the tyres and fluids remains essential to ensure they have not degraded despite the low tread depth.
