2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · CK64 AEM

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 83,498 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the preceding three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,958 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2022 test at 62,487 miles and the September 2023 test at 71,555 miles shows a period of higher usage, with nearly 9,000 miles added in a single year. Usage then moderated slightly leading up to the August 2025 test. A brief failure on 26 July 2024 at 76,971 miles was resolved within four days, though the record does not specify the fault, implying it was a minor rectification. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or suspension wear is positive for a Citroen of this era. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the lack of flagged consumables suggests a buyer should still manually verify the condition of the brake discs and pads. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for perished rubber bushings in the suspension and the health of the battery is advisable. The record implies a diligent approach to basic upkeep. There are no indications of structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures. A physical inspection should focus on service history documentation to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals match the mileage, as the MOT record only confirms legal roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
