CITROEN DS32012 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean testing. The most recent MOT test conducted in May 2025 at 73,928 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure was recorded in May 2024, the immediate pass on the same mileage reading suggests that the specific defect was identified and rectified promptly without escalating into a trend of recurring mechanical neglect. At 73,928 miles, this 2012 Citroen has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,280 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 6,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 8,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts degrading or brakes seizing if the vehicle sat for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to low-mileage issues. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for corrosion on the suspension arms and coil springs, which can become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust, as infrequent use often leads to surface oxidation that affects performance. Since the 2024 failure was not specified in the provided data, verifying the integrity of the exhaust system and the condition of rubber bushings would ensure no hidden structural issues are beginning to develop.
