CITROEN DS32015 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 75,621 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards without immediate mechanical or structural failures. While a failure occurred in early March 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass two days later suggest an owner who is proactive in addressing MOT-related issues. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,875 miles per year. The interval between the December 2021 test at 57,080 miles and the March 2023 test at 64,592 miles shows a slight dip in usage, while the subsequent accumulation of 6,029 miles between 2024 and 2025 reflects a steady driving habit. This low-to-average mileage generally reduces wear on high-stress drivetrain components like the clutch and turbo assembly compared to high-mileage city cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas common to the DS3 platform that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are severe. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, as rubber components perish over time regardless of low mileage. The record shows no history of brakerelated issues or structural corrosion, but a manual check of the brake discs for pitting and the underside for surface rust is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing.
