2010 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · CY59 HSD

The DS3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 14 March 2024 at 103,886 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, though the test history shows two anomalous failures on 5 March 2024 and 11 April 2023 where the DVSA entry records no defects. Such blank failure entries typically indicate administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle cleared both retests on the same day in each case. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2010 vehicle. The odometer moved from 87,025 miles at the February 2022 test to 98,224 miles by April 2023, then to 103,886 miles by March 2024. That equates to roughly 5,600 to 5,900 miles annually, below the 6,493 miles per year average implied by the total. The sparse five-year record shows no rapid accumulation or long dormant gaps that would raise standing-vehicle corrosion concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's sixteen-year age, as MOT advisories for such defects are absent only because none were raised. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite the clean pass, since the 2024 and 2023 failures with no recorded defects leave the exact cause unverified. Confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the logged no-defect status before purchase.
