2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · FG62 OCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 19 February 2026 at 90,444 miles with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a failure exactly one day prior at 90,439 miles, which, given the lack of recorded defect details, suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor-related fail-point that was rectified immediately. Since the February 2024 test, the car has maintained a consistent level of compliance without any recurring advisories appearing on the record. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light to moderate commuting, averaging approximately 6,460 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 3,102 miles, while it clocked another 3,152 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady, low-annual usage often reduces the mechanical strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage vehicles. The lack of significant gaps in mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for extended periods. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a Citroen DS3 of this age. Focus on the condition of the rubber components in the suspension and wish arms, as these can perish over fourteen years regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or binding calipers, as low-frequency use can sometimes lead to corrosion on the rotors. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and underside for rust remains essential to ensure the chassis remains sound as the vehicle ages.
