This 2016 Ds has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 41,321 miles. The mileage shows a significant anomaly, indicating potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: suspiciously low usage (438 mi/yr equivalent) before Nov 2022, followed by high annual usage (up to 18,640 mi/year).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (Jan 2021).
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Lower Suspension arm ball joint likely to become detached (Jan 2021).
- Recurring suspension failures: Nearside Rear Lower Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (Jan 2021, Jan 2025).
- Recurring tyre issues: Multiple tyre advisories and failures across 4 tests (Jan 2021, Dec 2023, Jan 2026).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No outstanding MOT failures or dangerous defects since the initial 2021 failures.
- Consistent high annual mileage post-2022, suggesting regular use.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
