2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · L20 GAD

This Citroen DS3 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 13 February 2026 at 98,291 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and is currently in a roadworthy condition. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a fourteen year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 82,379 miles in February 2023 to 98,291 miles by February 2026, averaging roughly 5,300 miles per year over the last three years. This consistent usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake calipers. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions. Even the failure on 16 February 2024 was resolved on the same day at 88,658 miles, though the record does not specify the nature of that defect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common weak points for this model. Verify the condition of the brake discs and tyre tread depths to ensure consumables are not nearing their limit, given the lack of cautionary advisories in the official history.
