2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · AF62 MKV

The Citroen DS3 presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 October 2023 at 89,610 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly in August 2021, October 2022, and October 2023, showing no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 89,610 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year which is typical for the age. The step from 70,815 miles on 17 August 2021 to 76,936 miles on 8 September 2022 shows light annual use of about 6,100 miles. A jump of 12,671 miles then appears by the September 2023 failure at 89,471 miles, indicating slightly heavier use in the final year of the record. The DVSA data is sparse, with every test returning no defects, so no wear trends on consumables or structure are evidenced in the paperwork. Two failed tests on 29 September 2023 and 8 September 2022 list no defects, meaning the car was rejected on administrative or unrecorded grounds rather than mechanical fault. This suggests previous owners addressed whatever stopped the pass quickly, as both failures converted to passes within weeks at near-identical mileage. No binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or exhaust issues were ever raised by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the car is fourteen years old. The clean MOT record offers no warning on tyre tread or wiper condition, so verify those consumables in person. Given the gap since the last test in October 2023, the vehicle is now over two years untested relative to today's date and will require a fresh MOT before road use.
