2014 CITROEN DS31.6L Diesel

This Citroen DS3 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 5 April 2025 at 89,624 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last five years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical stress. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve year old vehicle. The car covered 8,496 miles between March 2024 and April 2025, and 9,629 miles between March 2023 and March 2024. A notable gap exists between October 2020 and March 2022, where the vehicle travelled 9,813 miles over seventeen months. These figures indicate regular, moderate use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which helps preserve rubber components and seals. The absence of any advisories or failures since 2020 is rare for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across five consecutive tests. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures in the DVSA record, implying a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should still focus on common age related wear that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads. Given the age of the car, a technician should verify the health of the battery and the fluid levels in the cooling system to ensure the vehicle remains reliable.
