This 2018 Ds has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 9,151 miles. The extremely low annual usage (2,132 miles/yr) is a major red flag for potential odometer issues.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,132 miles/year, with a critical anomaly: 15,917 miles recorded over 8 years (Jan 2018 to Jun 2025), far below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 15,917 mi over 8 years (Jan 2018 to Jun 2025) — bottom 10% of similar DSs.
- Mileage anomaly: 15,917 mi total is 98% below typical 58,315 mi for a 2018 DS, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
- Major MOT failure: Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a)) on 2023-06-16 — indicates a period of neglect.
- Very low annual usage: 2,132 miles/year suggests limited use or potential long periods of inactivity.
