2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · LN14 AHJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on January 8, 2026 at 90,684 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have consistently met DVSA standards without the emergence of recurring failures or escalating advisory notes in the later stages of the recorded history. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year over the twelve-year period. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 67,635 miles in March 2024 to 79,910 miles in March 2025, and finally reaching 90,684 miles by the January 2026 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which often reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. While the clean history is encouraging, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this model at this age. Given the 90,000-mile mark, the tester should verify the integrity of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs. The failure recorded in March 2023 at 55,011 miles was resolved immediately with a subsequent pass, but a manual check of the chassis for corrosion and the exhaust siring remains necessary to ensure no hidden structural degradation has developed despite the clean test results.
