2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · CF14 FGA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most March 2026 test at 71,868 miles. While a recorded failure occurred in March 2025 at 68,000 miles, the immediate retest pass two days later suggests the identified issue was rectified promptly. Since that period, the MOT history shows no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum regulatory standards without recurring mechanical or structural degradation over the last two years. At approximately twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 71,868 miles represents an average usage of roughly 6,000 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average, which typically results in lower wear on high-stress drivetrain and braking components. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with increments of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 miles between each annual inspection. This low mileage suggests the car has undergone light use, though low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related fatigue rather than mileage-related wear. Given the low usage, check the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as materials degrade over time regardless of distance traveled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that are driven infrequently. While the MOT record is clear of structural advisories, a close look at the sills and wheel mounting points remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed on the chassis of this 2014 unit.
