2013 Citroen DS3 Dstyle E-HDI 1.6L Diesel · CX09 ARA

A consistent history of clean test results defines this vehicle, with the most recent pass on 18 October 2025 recording no defects or advisories. While the record shows two failures in 2022 and 2025, both were rectified within a very short timeframe, and the overall trend indicates a stable level of roadworthiness without recurring mechanical faults or chronic corrosion issues. The recorded mileage of 106,111 miles is typical for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,162 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the testing history between August 2019 and May 2022, which suggests a period where the vehicle may have been off the road or used minimally. Such intervals can impact the condition of rubber components and fluids, though the subsequent clean passes suggest these issues did not manifest as MOT failures. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the mechanical focus during a physical inspection should shift to general wear associated with six-figure mileage. A test drive should prioritize the detection of any drivetrain vibrations or unusual noises from the suspension, such as knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which may not yet have reached the threshold of an MOT failure but indicate nearing end-of-life for suspension bushes or mounts.
