2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FH11 ABX

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent pass on 9 April 2026 at 106,678 miles. While the record shows immediate re-tests following initial failures on 31 March 2025 and 9 April 2026, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than mechanical failures. The maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has cleared its annual inspections without any logged advisories or component failures over the last three years. The current mileage of 106,678 over a 15-year lifespan averages approximately 7,112 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The progression of mileage remains consistent across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 test dates, indicating the car has seen regular, steady use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This consistent usage profile is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished rubber seals due to long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on the Citroen DS3 platform that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they are significantly degraded. You should also verify the health of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT test only assesses braking efficiency and not the remaining thickness of the friction material. Given the age of the vehicle, check the underside for signs of surface corrosion on the subframe and sills, as the recent clean test results do not account for hidden structural deterioration that can occur over fifteen years of road exposure.
