CITROEN DS32011 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-03-06 at 66,894 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the lack of subsequent testing—over three years without an MOT—raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The 2022-03-28 test at 59,114 miles also passed with no defects, while two failed tests in 2022 and 2023 at similar mileages showed no recorded issues. This pattern suggests either inconsistent maintenance or potential oversights in addressing minor faults, though no critical failures were documented. The absence of recent data means the vehicle’s mechanical state remains unverified beyond 2023. The car’s mileage of 66,894 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 4,460 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like batteries, fluids, and rubber seals. Notably, the 2022-03-18 failure at 58,930 miles preceded a pass at 59,114 miles just 10 days later, indicating potential temporary issues resolved quickly. However, the 2023 tests at 66,894 miles—three years ago—show no updates, leaving the vehicle’s current condition unassessed. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to potential corrosion from inactivity. The body’s structural integrity and underbody should also be checked for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture. While the MOT history lacks specific defects, the extended gap since the last test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and safety standards.
