2013 CITROEN DS52.0L Diesel

The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 July 2025 at 100,334 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking across the full history, every single test has passed without any flagged items, and the one recorded failure on 19 December 2023 appears to have been rectified and re-tested successfully the very next day. This indicates a mechanically stable vehicle with no recurring faults, and the maintenance trend is consistently good rather than worsening. The mileage accumulation is modest and steady. The car covered roughly 10,300 miles between January 2023 and December 2023, about 7,300 miles over the following eight months, and under 5,000 miles across the eleven months to July 2025. The overall average of approximately 7,700 miles per year aligns with typical UK usage for a thirteen-year-old diesel or petrol family car. The drop in yearly mileage in recent years suggests lighter, more localised use rather than heavy motorway work, but the gaps between service intervals would need confirming from stamped service history. Given that the MOT record shows zero advisories, there are no known structural or mechanical concerns to chase. That said, a clean MOT does not guarantee the condition of consumables. A buyer should still inspect the condition of the tyres, brake discs and pads, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these are common cost items on a Citroen DS5 of this age. The absence of any corrosion or emission-related advisories is a positive sign for structural integrity, but a physical inspection of the underside, particularly the rear axle mounting points and sill areas, remains advisable to verify the condition beyond the test sheet.
