2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FE11 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 at 99,257 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the same date shows a prior failure with no defects, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or repeated testing. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the 2025-03-06 test at 90,707 miles also passed without issues, and the 2024-03-04 test at 84,802 miles similarly showed no defects. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the recorded history. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,257 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 6,617 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The gap between the 2024-03-04 and 2025-03-06 tests saw a 5,905-mile increase, while the subsequent 2026-03-10 test added 8,550 miles. These increments are within normal ranges and do not indicate abrupt wear. The MOT history is sparse but clean, with no significant defects or advisories recorded across three consecutive annual tests. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this model. The absence of brake-related defects in the MOTs does not preclude a detailed check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, as these can develop between tests. Corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, should also be assessed, as it may not be flagged in standard MOT checks. The vehicle’s mechanical integrity appears sound, but physical verification of these areas is advisable.
