This 2016 Ds has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 18,495 miles. The recent low annual usage is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage, averaging only 5,329 miles/year, with a drastic drop to 406 miles/year between Mar 2025 and Mar 2026, indicating very light recent use.
Things to check
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,329 mi/yr) since registration, indicating minimal use.
- Mileage dropped significantly from 6,614 miles/year (Mar 2024) to 406 miles/year (Mar 2026), a major red flag for neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2021) and headlamp issues (May 2019, Mar 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- One major failure for windscreen (Mar 2024) and a fractured coil spring (Mar 2024) indicate past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) confirms high safety standards for its age.
- No persistent major failures or recurring dangerous defects, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent retest passes after failures show the owner addressed issues promptly.
