2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · HN61 AEJ

This Citroen DS3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 85,104 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a state of good repair. The mileage is notably low for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,674 miles per year. The distance covered between November 2022 at 67,147 miles and November 2025 at 85,104 miles shows a steady increase of approximately 6,000 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or significant periods of abandonment. A strange entry appears on 20 November 2024, where the vehicle failed its test at 81,536 miles despite no defects being recorded. It passed nine days later at 81,565 miles. This discrepancy likely stems from an administrative error or a failed test on a technicality rather than a mechanical failure, as no specific faults were listed. Given the lack of advisories regarding corrosion or suspension wear over the last five years, the mechanical risks appear low. A buyer should still manually check for perished rubber seals and brake disc surface rust, as low-mileage cars often suffer from components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking even if the tread depth remains legal.
