2013 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FJ63 DGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 106,932 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just three days prior at 106,930 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative issue or a trivial component failure that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage accumulation pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression, moving from 71,058 miles in May 2022 to 95,292 miles in July 2024, and reaching 106,932 miles by June 2025. The lack of significant gaps in the testing schedule indicates that the car has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing the brake seizing and seal-related corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. While there are no recorded advisories or faults in the history, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Citroen DS3 at this mileage bracket. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after passing 100,000 miles. Given the consistent usage, checking the brake discs for uneven thinning and inspecting the calipers for binding is prudent to ensure the previous owner has not ignored consumable wear items despite the clean MOT history.
