AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Ds has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate. While many issues were addressed, the consistent need for repairs suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,397 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage between 2021 and 2022 (3,282 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 9 tests (Jan 2021, Mar 2023, Aug 2025) indicate persistent wear.
- Multiple lighting failures (Mar 2022, Mar 2023) and advisories (Feb 2021, Mar 2024) suggest electrical issues.
- Windscreen wiper/washer failures (Jan 2021) and advisories (Mar 2022, Mar 2024) point to recurring electrical issues.
- A fractured offside front coil spring (Mar 2023) is a significant suspension failure.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,397 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
- All major failures (wipers, washer, headlamps, coil spring) were promptly rectified and passed subsequent tests.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage patterns.
