2014 Citroen DS3 1.2L Petrol · AF14 JWJ

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 13 August 2025 at 63,864 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 4 September 2023 at 57,664 miles, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or defects appear on any entry from 2023 to 2025, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring mechanical trend in the official record. The odometer sat at 57,664 miles in September 2023 and rose to 63,864 miles by August 2025, an addition of 6,200 miles over roughly two years. Against the 12-year age, total mileage of 63,864 equates to about 5,300 miles per year, which is low. The sparse clean record gives little insight into consumable turnover, though low use of this nature often masks standing corrosion or degraded rubber bushes that a test without advisories will not always expose. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points given the car's age and low annual use. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for binding or uneven wear after long idle periods, despite no MOT flag. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity showed clean at the last test, but a borescope check of sills and floorpan for hidden rust remains sensible on a 2014 hatchback. The duplicate fail-pass pairs on test day suggest the seller or tester corrected a paperwork issue rather than a road defect. Previous keepers kept the car lightly used and apparently serviced to pass standard, though the absence of advisories means wear items like tyres and wiper blades were likely changed outside the test bay. Verify service stamps to confirm intervals match the low mileage.
