2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · CT62 LBY

The vehicle presents a stable and resolving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 13 May 2025 at 85,933 miles with zero defects recorded. The absence of any advisories or failures in the most recent test indicates the DS3 currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. The trend is clearly improving, given the failed test on 13 March 2023 at 69,049 miles was swiftly rectified by a pass on 4 April 2023 at 69,224 miles, and no further issues have surfaced since. The annual mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,138 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent, steady usage rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage accumulation. Between March 2022 and May 2025, the odometer advanced by 26,424 miles across three full years of testing, demonstrating regular, sustained use. The data is notably clean, lacking the erratic mileage jumps that might suggest odometer tampering or inconsistent servicing. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a 14-year-old Citroen DS3. The tester flagged no recurring structural or mechanical faults, yet age-related degradation requires scrutiny. Buyers should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, a common issue on older PSA-group vehicles. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion and binding, particularly given the vehicle's age. While the exhaust emissions passed cleanly in 2025, verifying the condition of the diesel particulate filter and checking for any structural corrosion beneath the wheel arches and sills will confirm whether the MOT record truly reflects the vehicle's current physical state.
