2012 CITROEN DS31.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 56,200 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, maintaining a streak of clean results dating back to 2023. This suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding maintenance and is addressing potential mechanical issues before they result in MOT failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between July 2022 and November 2023, where the car covered only 8,468 miles, followed by a more recent accumulation of 2,040 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid de-stabilization, or surface corrosion on brake discs. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related wear and neglect. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber rather than fatigue. Examine the brake system for pitting or seized calipers caused by infrequent use, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody for any hidden surface rust, which can develop on Citroens of this era regardless of the total miles driven.
