2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FH11 FBA

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent February 2026 MOT, which returned a pass at 115,033 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual test from February 2023 through to February 2026 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. A failed entry also appears on 6 February 2026 at the same mileage, yet no defects were listed; this suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the pass issued the same day. Annual mileage averages 7,669 across the car's fifteen years, which sits within typical bounds for a 2011 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 100,425 miles in February 2023, 105,941 in January 2024, 110,609 in January 2025, and 115,033 in February 2026. The gaps run close to twelve months each, with no sudden jumps or dormant periods that would hint at prolonged standing or hard use. The DVSA data itself is sparse on detail, carrying no advisories or recorded component wear across the five years shown. Given the clean sheet, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural items that MOT advisories would normally flag if deteriorating. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of recorded defects. Exhaust emissions and underbody corrosion should be examined, particularly around sills and subframes, as a 2011 vehicle can develop structural rust unseen by an annual test until it breaches limits. The same-day fail and pass in February 2026 points to clerical handling rather than owner neglect. Prior keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard, though the lack of advisories means wear levels on tyres, wipers, and bearings remain unknown until a workshop measures them.
