2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · LD64 YNA

The Citroen DS3 presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at 114,061 miles on 13 November 2025. The tester recorded zero defects during this most recent assessment, mirroring the flawless results from the preceding four years. This consistent absence of advisories or failures indicates a vehicle that has been maintained in sound mechanical order, with no emerging deterioration in core systems like brakes, steering, or suspension. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,500 miles annually. Between the November 2021 test at 73,895 miles and the November 2022 test at 85,290 miles, the car covered 11,395 miles, demonstrating regular, sustained use. Subsequent years show a slight tapering of annual distance, dropping to 8,367 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of inactivity or severe neglect. Given the entirely clean MOT record, there are no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion issues demanding immediate attention. However, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on typical wear items commensurate with 114,000 miles. A buyer should physically examine the condition of the tyre tread depths and sidewalls, checking for uneven wear that might indicate misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes. The brake discs and pads require close scrutiny for lipping and thickness, while the exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or blowing joints. Underneath the vehicle, inspect the subframe and suspension mounting points for any signs of rust or impact damage that a standard MOT might not catch.
