2011 CITROEN DS31.6L Diesel

This Citroen DS3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 74,072 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test one day prior on 31 July 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The vehicle has covered 74,072 miles over 15 years, averaging roughly 4,938 miles per year. This is low usage for a car of this age. Mileage accumulation remained consistent between July 2022 at 55,680 miles and August 2024 at 65,336 miles. There was a more significant increase of nearly 9,000 miles between August 2024 and August 2025, indicating a recent shift in usage patterns. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last four years. Such a sparse record is unusual for a 2011 model and suggests either meticulous care or a lack of detailed reporting by the testing stations. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and tyre cracking. Check the date codes on the tyres and inspect the underside for surface corrosion, as the MOT record provides no data on the chassis condition or the state of the exhaust system.
