2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · C8 VAL

The 2014 Citroën DS3 is presently roadworthy, as the September 15 2025 MOT at 25,960 miles recorded a pass with no defects noted. The series of annual tests from September 2022 through September 2025 shows a consistent record of passes, indicating stable maintenance and no worsening condition. The vehicle’s 25,960 miles equate to roughly 2,163 miles per year over its 12‑year lifespan, a figure well below the typical mileage for a car of this age and suggests light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests was only three days, while earlier gaps averaged about a year, reflecting a regular yearly testing schedule with minimal mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore focus on verifying the condition of suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, checking for binding in the rear brake calipers and wear on the brake discs, and inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks that might not have been captured in the MOT. Attention to structural integrity, tyre tread depth, and fluid levels will help confirm that the low‑mileage record translates into genuine mechanical health.
