2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · FN64 HUU

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 29,775 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged across the three years of available history. The vehicle carries a clean mechanical record, though the repeated fail-pass pairs within days of each other warrant a closer look at test administration rather than component condition. The recorded mileage sits at 29,775 miles against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 2,481 miles per year. In the 15 August 2023 test the odometer read 24,813 miles. By 5 August 2024 it had climbed to 27,329 miles, then 27,384 miles on 9 August 2024. The car added 2,347 miles to reach 29,731 miles by 3 September 2025 and 29,775 miles by 8 September 2025. This low annual use points to light running or extended standing periods, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps in the timeline. The DVSA data itself is sparse, showing no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions faults at any stage. The September 2025 fail at 29,731 miles and the September 2024 fail at 27,329 miles both list no defects recorded. That pattern suggests administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than a worn component rejected on the day. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate match the cited fail reasons, since a no-defect failure is atypical and may reflect a clerical error or a withdrawn test. In person, the buyer should scrutinise the usual low-mileage standing risks the MOT did not capture. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from disuse, inspect brake discs for surface corrosion and calipers for binding after long idle spells, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the car's age. The exhaust and structural underbody should be examined for intermittent damp-related corrosion. The record implies a lightly used car with conscientious test attendance, but physical inspection remains essential given the unexplained fail entries.
