2013 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FH62 LCT

The 2013 Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 100,643 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,742 per year against the vehicle's 13-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show consistent yearly use with no standing gaps: 65,831 miles in March 2022, 68,809 by March 2023, 70,228 by October 2023, 84,846 by October 2024, and 100,643 by October 2025. The step from 70,228 to 84,846 miles between late 2023 and late 2024 marks the highest single-year gain at about 14,600 miles, yet the tester logged no advisories on any of those dates. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing five straight passes with no advisories, minor or structural. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion were not flagged, but MOT passes do not confirm component life remaining at 100,643 miles. Prior owners kept the car to test standard with no skipped dates, implying reasonable basic upkeep rather than neglect. Given the fault-free record, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and any developing exhaust or steering play not yet at advisory level. The history gives no evidence of recurring mechanical trends, so the risk profile rests on age-related wear invisible to the MOT summary rather than documented defects.
