2012 Audi TT 2.0L Diesel · DH52 HAM

The 2013 Citroen DS3 demonstrates a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 12 May 2025 at 41,967 miles. The tester recorded zero defects during this most recent assessment, confirming the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. A minor anomaly exists in the 2022 record where a failure and a pass both appear on 24 May at 28,082 miles, likely representing a same-day retest following a preliminary failure. The subsequent three years of flawless passes confirm any prior issues were rectified promptly. The recorded mileage of 41,967 miles translates to an average annual usage of roughly 3,228 miles, which is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. Examining the chronological data reveals a fluctuating but consistently low utilization pattern. The car covered 4,734 miles between the May 2022 and May 2023 tests, followed by 5,682 miles between 2023 and 2024. Mileage accumulation slowed notably in the most recent period, with only 3,469 miles recorded between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests. Such low mileage often implies prolonged periods of standing, which requires specific attention to perishable rubber components and brake corrosion. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the MOT record, the exceptionally low mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from inactivity. Buyers should scrutinize the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes. Brake discs often suffer from surface corrosion on vehicles that stand for extended periods, potentially causing binding or judder until the rust wears off. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts also degrade with age rather than mileage, so a thorough check for perishing or cracking remains essential. The clean MOT history suggests diligent ownership, but verifying the condition of these age-sensitive parts will ensure the vehicle is genuinely roadworthy.
