2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · MJ64 ABK

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 February 2026 at 60,174 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,014 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2023 test at 48,636 miles and the February 2026 test at 60,174 miles shows a steady, light usage pattern of approximately 3,800 to 4,000 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or long periods of stagnation. A failure on 26 February 2025 at 57,301 miles was resolved within nine days for the successful test on 5 March 2025. While the record does not specify the cause of that failure, the rapid rectification indicates a responsive owner. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of care. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for perishing rubber seals, the condition of the tyre sidewalls, and any signs of brake disc corrosion caused by light use. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is the primary remaining priority to ensure long-term reliability.
