2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · LN14 AHP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on November 6 2025 at 69,523 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in early October 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean pass suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing reported mechanical issues once they are identified. The mileage history reveals a significant anomaly in usage patterns. Between August 2021 at 58,884 miles and October 2023 at 105,628 miles, the vehicle covered 46,744 miles in just over two years, which far exceeds the average annual mileage for its age. However, the recorded mileage then dropped sharply to 69,523 miles by the November 2025 test. This discrepancy between the high-intensity period followed by a sharp decline suggests either a clerical recording error or that the vehicle spent long periods sitting stationary, which can lead to rubber degradation, seized brake calipers, and fluid breakdown despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most affected by the identified usage fluctuations. Given the period of high mileage followed by potential inactivity, check for cracked sidewalls on tyres and perished rubber bushes in the suspension. Examine the brake discs for signs of heavy pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to structural corrosion in the lower sills and exhaust system regardless of the low miles driven.
