2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FE11 AEB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 145,610 miles was a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from the previous two years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 11,910 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, and a further 11,910 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. A brief failure on 8 June 2023 was resolved within twenty four hours, which typically points to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable item. The absence of advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a fifteen year old vehicle with 145,610 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components naturally degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for underside corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, is essential since the DVSA record does not flag any structural integrity issues. Priority should be given to checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements. The MOT record confirms the car is legally roadworthy, but it does not track internal engine health or fluid changes. Verifying the condition of the brake discs and tyre tread depth in person will confirm if the current owner is proactive with maintenance or simply performing the bare minimum to pass the annual test.
