2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · AJ61 FUT

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 22 September 2025 at 66,607 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, showing clean passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. Recorded mileage sits at 66,607 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 4,440 miles per year. The car covered only 1,117 miles between the September 2023 test at 64,710 miles and the October 2024 test at 65,887 miles, then just 720 miles to the September 2025 pass. Low annual use of this kind often points to light local running or extended standing periods rather than neglect, though the sparse history leaves little detail on consumable turnover. Two failed tests appear on the same dates as subsequent passes, both at 64,595 and 66,607 miles respectively, yet the DVSA entries record no defects for either. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical rejection, but a buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate match the online record. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust faults, the DS3 shows no evidence of structural or mechanical risk in the data. In person, the buyer should nonetheless check for standing-related issues such as flat-spotted tyres, seized calipers and underbody rust, which a low-mileage 15-year-old hatchback can hide despite a clean MOT sheet.
