2015 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · AE15 VFB

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2025 at 42,024 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the supplied history. The vehicle cleared its final test cleanly after two administrative-style failures two days earlier at 42,018 miles, where the tester logged no defects. Recorded mileage sits at 42,024 miles against an 11-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,820 miles per year. This is low for the age. The gap between the 7 May 2024 failure at 39,028 miles and the 11 June 2024 failure at 39,031 miles shows only 3 miles accrued, then 2 miles to the 10 June 2025 failure at 42,018 miles. Such minimal movement between tests suggests long periods of standing rather than active daily use. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for corrosion on structural members and suspension bushes, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop rust where moisture gathers. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding or pitting from disuse. The repeated failures with zero defects recorded point to documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect, but verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the clean record before purchase.
