AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2016 Ds has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 24,902 miles. The 2022-01-17 MOT failure for Engine MIL and a 2020 service gap require careful investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,055 miles/year, with a notable dip to 1,181 miles in 2022, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • 2022-01-17 MOT failure: Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (major).
  • 2025-03-20 MOT failure: Tyres (bulge, partial failure of structure) — dangerous defect.
  • 2020: No MOT recorded for 2020, indicating a potential SORN or off-road period.
  • Recurring advisories: Tyres (Jun 2023 advisory, Mar 2025 dangerous failure) and brakes (Jan 2022, Jun 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-30, offering significant peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, indicating light use.
