2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · DN14 AEC

This Citroen DS3 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 75,480 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the preceding three years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,290 miles per year. The accumulation of distance is steady, with 12,169 miles added between the March 2023 test at 63,311 miles and the October 2025 test at 75,480 miles. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would indicate periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The record is remarkably devoid of the common faults associated with this model. There are no mentions of suspension bush wear, coil spring fractures, or brake disc corrosion across any of the entries. Even the failure on 9 March 2023 was resolved within twenty four hours, and the lack of subsequent advisories indicates that no lingering issues persisted into the later tests. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT tester might overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the interior plastics. While the DVSA record shows no structural integrity issues or corrosion, a manual check of the chassis rails and sills is advised to confirm the absence of surface rust.
