2013 CITROEN DS52.0L Diesel

The Citroen DS5 presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 24 March 2026 at 88,795 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A duplicate test entry on 7 February 2026 at 88,008 miles shows a failed test with no defects recorded alongside a passed test the same day, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical concern. The recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,830 miles per year. The DS5 covered 4,841 miles between the February 2024 test at 73,667 miles and the February 2025 test at 78,828 miles, then added 9,180 miles by the February 2026 test at 88,008 miles. This reflects a slight recent increase in use but remains within normal parameters. The MOT history is sparse, with only five entries and no recorded faults, which limits insight into component-level care but suggests no neglected statutory testing. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across all tests means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not formally noted, yet a 13-year-old French hatchback of this type commonly develops such issues unseen by MOT scrutiny. Examine brake disc condition, underbody structural integrity, and exhaust emissions hardware at close hand. Verify the 7 February 2026 duplicate failure with no defects against DVSA systems before purchase. Confirm the current 88,795-mile odometer reading matches the last certificate and check service history to corroborate the low annual mileage and absence of flagged consumable replacements.
