2010 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · AP10 GKY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of five consecutive MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 140,257 miles resulted in no recorded defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. This streak of clean test results over several years indicates that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues and safety-related requirements before they could result in a failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a car of this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between February 2023 at 89,809 miles and February 2024 at 111,432 miles, where the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in a single year. However, usage has returned to a more moderate rate of roughly 14,000 miles in the subsequent intervals. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which helps preserve seals and mechanical components. Despite the clean digital record, an in-person inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage wear that are not always captured in a standard MOT test. At 140,000 miles, the buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on the Citroen platform. Checking the brake discs for signs of thinning or binding calipers, and inspecting the chassis for emerging structural corrosion, remains necessary to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred despite the lack of recorded failures.
