2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · KM12 AEC

The most recent MOT on 27 October 2025 at 68,425 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. Earlier examinations in October 2024, October 2023 and October 2022 also returned passes, showing a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring failures. At 68,425 miles after fourteen years, the average annual mileage is roughly 4,900 miles, well below the typical 10,000‑12,000 miles for a car of this age. The mileage increments between tests are modest – 2,737 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, 2,687 miles to October 2024, and 773 miles to the latest test – suggesting limited use and no periods of rapid accumulation. The duplicate entry on 28 October 2024 showing both a fail and a pass at the same mileage likely reflects a retest rather than a substantive fault, as no defects were logged. A prospective buyer should still examine consumable wear items that the MOT does not capture. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as low mileage does not guarantee tyre health. Inspect suspension components – particularly bushings and coil springs – for any signs of corrosion or fatigue. Check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers, and confirm that the exhaust system is free of leaks and that emissions remain within limits. A visual survey for surface rust on wheel arches and under‑body panels will further confirm the vehicle’s structural integrity.
