2014 Citroen DS3 1.2L Petrol · MF14 HBD

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 8 April 2026 at 96,771 miles. While the record shows a history of clean passes, the most recent failure indicates an immediate need for rectification. The maintenance trend appears stable over the long term, though the recent failure and a previous fail-then-pass sequence on 24 April 2025 suggest a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,064 miles per year. The distance covered between the April 2024 test at 85,333 miles and the April 2025 test at 91,634 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,300 miles. The most recent interval from April 2025 to April 2026 saw a slight increase in usage to 5,137 miles, confirming the car has been in regular use. The absence of recorded advisories or defects across several years of testing is unusual for a twelve year old Citroen. This lack of data makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical trends, but it also means the buyer must be vigilant for neglected wear items. A physical inspection should focus on common weak points for this model, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. Given the current failed status, a technician must verify the specific reason for the April 2026 failure. The buyer should also manually check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the depth of the tyre treads, since the MOT record provides no evidence of these consumables being monitored or replaced recently.
