2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · CK12 ACV

This vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT pass on 14 February 2026 at 66,103 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 4,722 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, increasing from 57,742 miles in September 2024 to 66,103 miles by February 2026. This consistent usage pattern reduces the likelihood that the car has suffered from the degradation typically associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The absence of any flagged faults regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the underbody for surface rust and check the condition of the tyres and brake discs. Low-mileage cars often suffer from tyre cracking due to age rather than tread wear. The two recorded failures in September 2024 and February 2026 were resolved on the same day, which typically indicates minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. Given the lack of recurring technical issues in the DVSA data, the vehicle presents as a well-maintained example with no evident red flags in its testing history.
