2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · MA12 ABZ

The 2012 Citroen DS3 presents as roadworthy on the strength of its most recent MOT pass dated 21 February 2023 at 119,573 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. Each successful test returned a clean sheet, and no advisories or worn consumables appear in the data. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,541 miles per year. The record shows 91,793 miles on 21 February 2020, rising to 97,856 by 2 March 2021, then 106,987 on 25 February 2022, and 119,573 at the final test. A single anomaly occurred on 1 March 2021 when the car failed at 97,848 miles, yet the tester logged no defects; the owner secured a pass the next day at 97,856 miles. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives the buyer little to act on from past failures. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems were ever flagged. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though it may also reflect lenient testing. A purchaser should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension components, and brake condition given the vehicle's age and 119,573 miles. Verify the 2021 fail-with-no-defect episode with DVSA paperwork. Confirm the next MOT is booked, as the last pass is over three years old relative to today's date.
