2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FE63 SVR

The most recent MOT, dated 13 August 2025, passed but highlighted three tyre‑related advisories and a note on the rear brake disc. Both front tyres are described as “worn close to the legal limit/on the edge”, the off‑side rear tyre shows slight damage or cracking, and the rear brake disc is worn, though not excessively. Across the five‑year MOT record there are no recurring defects apart from the 2025 tyre and brake observations. The earlier tests (2024, 2023, 2022, 2020) recorded no faults, suggesting that the vehicle has generally been kept in a road‑worthy state. The appearance of tyre wear in the latest test is likely a result of the tyres reaching the end of their service life rather than an indication of a worsening mechanical condition. The brake disc wear is typical for a car of this age and mileage. At 98,158 mi the car is about 12 years old, giving an average of roughly 8,200 mi per year. This falls within the normal range for a vehicle of its age, so the mileage does not point to either unusually heavy use or prolonged periods of inactivity. It simply reflects average usage, meaning that consumables such as tyres, brakes, suspension bushes and drivetrain components should be inspected for normal wear. Overall the trend appears stable: the car has passed recent MOTs without major safety defects, and the only issues flagged are consumable items that will need replacement in the near future.
