2013 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · CE13 NFC

The 2025‑09‑29 MOT at 65,101 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. All five tests since 2022 have resulted in passes, with the exception of the 2022‑06‑23 failure that logged no specific defects, indicating that any previous issues have been resolved and that the car has not exhibited a worsening pattern. The mileage progression—52,509 miles in June 2022, 57,488 miles by August 2023, 62,241 miles in August 2024 and 65,101 miles in September 2025—shows a steady increase of roughly 5,000 miles per year, well below the average annual mileage for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The intervals between tests are consistent, with no abrupt jumps that would suggest intensive use or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on components that typically show wear over time despite the low mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, rear brake calipers and discs for binding or scoring, tyre tread depth and condition, and any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and underbody. The exhaust system and emission levels should also be examined, as the MOT history records no emission failures but physical corrosion can develop independently. Given the consistent pass rate and modest mileage accumulation, the vehicle appears well‑maintained, yet a thorough visual and functional inspection of the aforementioned mechanical items is essential to verify that the recorded lack of defects reflects genuine condition rather than deferred maintenance.
