2013 Citroen DS3 Airdream Dsport Plus E-HDI 1.6L Heavy oil · LP13 MYX

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT test on 20 May 2026 at 126,601 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent string of passes from 2021 through to 2026, indicating that the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures or structural issues in recent years. The absence of advisories in the last three consecutive tests suggests that the previous owner has been proactive in addressing wear and tear before they escalate into failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 73,760 miles in February 2021 to 126,601 miles in May 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or unusual periods of inactivity evident in the records. The mileage has increased by roughly 13,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and by approximately 9,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, which represents a predictable and typical usage pattern for a diesel hatchback. While the recent history is clean, earlier records from 2016 and 2017 highlight a tendency for consumable wear in the braking and tyre departments. The 2017 test recorded a failure due to nearside rear tyre tread depth and advisories for worn rear brake pads and pitted discs. Although these issues were resolved, a buyer should still inspect the current condition of the rear brake discs and pads to ensure they have not begun to score or pit again. The history also noted sidewall damage to tyres in 2016, so a thorough check of all four tyres for sidewall bulges or uneven wear is advisable. Given the age of the vehicle and the mileage, attention should be directed toward the suspension components and the diesel engine's emissions system. Although no suspension bushes or coil springs were flagged in the MOT history, the increased mileage since 2021 warrants a physical check for any play in the steering or knocks from the underside. Ensuring the service history supports regular oil changes will be vital for the longevity of the H-DIP engine, as the MOT record only confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards rather than the quality of its mechanical upkeep.
