2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · FN61 YTR

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 112,756 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 11 October 2022 through to the 2025 renewal returning a pass and no advisories logged. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 30 October 2025 at the same mileage of 112,756 miles, carrying no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault before the same-day pass. Mileage progression shows light to average use for a 2011 vehicle. The record runs 78,191 miles at the 11 October 2022 test, 89,111 miles on 11 September 2023, 100,661 miles on 8 October 2024, and 112,756 miles on 30 October 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year between tests, marginally above the 7,517-mile annual average implied by the total, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, showing clean sheets throughout, so no consumable or structural concerns were raised by testers at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is fifteen years old and has covered over 112,000 miles. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet MOT cleanliness at this age does not confirm absence of incipient corrosion or worn mounts. Prior to purchase, verify the 30 October 2025 failure cause with DVSA paperwork and check underneath for structural rust and exhaust condition. The clean record warrants cautious optimism, not assumption of fault-free mechanical state.
