2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FG62 NKL

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 November 2025 at 111,137 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester logged no defects at that test, nor at the prior pass on 6 November 2024 at 104,749 miles. The record shows a clean advisory profile throughout, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns over the observed period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,938 miles per year against the 111,137 miles recorded. The DS3 covered 6,749 miles between the November 2023 test at 98,000 miles and the November 2024 test, then 6,388 miles into the November 2025 pass. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear in the data; the three-year span shows steady, moderate use with no standing periods evident from mileage drops. The history reveals two failed tests on 4 November 2024 at 104,743 miles and 14 November 2025 at 111,133 miles, each with no defects recorded before a same-day pass at marginally higher mileage. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, as the vehicle cleared without noted defects hours later. Previous owners maintained the car to a standard that avoided flagged wear on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across all entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and 111,137 miles, since MOT absence of advisories does not confirm component life remaining. Verify the exhaust emissions and underbody for latent rust not yet at test threshold. The clean record implies conscientious basic upkeep, but physical confirmation of consumable and chassis condition remains prudent before purchase.
