2013 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · JF10 ADE

The Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 97,687 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. A failed test on the same date as the January 2026 pass, with no defects cited, points to an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,500 miles against the car's 2013 build, a typical use profile for a 13-year-old hatchback. The record shows 90,362 miles on 15 November 2023, rising to 90,372 just two days later after the initial failure, then 92,379 by February 2025 and 97,687 by January 2026. The two-year gap between late 2023 and early 2025 covered only around 2,000 miles, suggesting a period of light use or limited running before a modest 5,300-mile year followed. The DVSA data flags no recurring faults, corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe condition, and suspension bushes given the car's age and the absence of any advisory detail in the record. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the lack of advisories means hidden wear on consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions components remains unverified by the tester. Given the 28 January 2026 pass is roughly five months old relative to today's date, the test remains recent and the certificate is live. No immediate re-test is due, but a pre-purchase check of clutch wear, gearbox operation, and underbody rust is sensible on a DS3 of this mileage and vintage.
