2013 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · ML63 NBB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 1 July 2025 at 89,489 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This immediate failure and subsequent pass suggest a minor issue that was rectified quickly by the owner, but overall, the car has maintained a clean sheet record across the last four annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,884 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 52,952 miles and the July 2025 test at 89,489 miles, the car covered 36,537 miles, indicating a steady usage rate. The interval of 12,352 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025 shows a consistent annual activity, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of neglect. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural failures, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a DS3 of this age. Given the mileage, the buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or tearing, as lack of advisories in the history does not guarantee the absence of wear. The brake discs should also be inspected for uneven wear or thinning to ensure the system remains effective despite the clean test results.
