2015 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FH15 EUW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in mechanical maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 59,594 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully addressed. This transition from a failure in 2023 to consecutive clean passes suggests the current owner is proactive in responding to MOT requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 3,000 miles in the preceding year. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the low frequency of use can sometimes lead to brake corrosion or the degradation of rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly and drivetrain to ensure previous repairs hold. The 2023 failure specifically highlighted worn inner suspension arm bushes and split constant velocity boots on both front drive shafts. While these were rectified, a buyer should check for any remaining play in the steering geometry or signs of grease leaking from the CV boots. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a pitted offside rear brake disc warrants a visual check of the current thickness and surface condition to ensure the component was either replaced or is not deteriorating further.
