2013 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · CX63 CFN

The Citroen DS3 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2024 at 109,151 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 December 2023 at 92,681 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared two consecutive annual examinations without advisory or failure entries. The mileage pattern sits at a typical level for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year across its life. Between the December 2022 pass at 76,339 miles and the December 2023 pass at 92,681 miles the car covered 16,342 miles, double the annual norm yet not extreme for a small petrol hatch. Records show two failed tests on 30 November 2022 (76,281 miles) and 11 December 2023 (92,619 miles), each followed one to three weeks later by a pass at near-identical mileage, indicating the failures were minor and rectified promptly rather than neglected. The DVSA entries list no defects on any test, so the history gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc wear, as a 13-year-old car at 109,151 miles will carry consumable fatigue the MOT may not have captured in its bare pass notes. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, clearing both 2022 and 2023 failures within days. That behaviour implies basic compliance rather than deferred upkeep, though the absence of recorded advisories across the timeline leaves genuine mechanical condition unverified by the document alone.
