Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage example with a history of clean passes. It represents a solid example of the 2014-era premium hatchback.
When viewing this specific DS3, the priority is to verify that the low mileage is consistent with the service history. Given the car has averaged roughly 4,300 miles per year, check for signs of-related wear on components like tyres and brake discs, which can occur even with low mileage.
Ask the owner about the specific reason for the November 2024 MOT failure, although the immediate pass two miles later suggests a simple component replacement like a bulb or a minor sensor. Ensure the service history shows regular oil changes, as these 1.6cc engines require consistent maintenance to maintain health.
The 1598cc petrol engine typically sits in a mid-range insurance group with a relatively reasonable tax band. Owners can expect respectable fuel economy, likely around 45-55 mpg depending on driving style and road conditions.
Annual maintenance costs for the DS3 are standard for a French hatchback, though buyers should budget for routine parts and labour. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic servicing, typically fall between £900 and £1,200.
Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as low-mileage cars sometimes suffer from alignment issues if left stationary. Since the most recent MOTs show no recorded defects, focus your inspection on the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or corrosion that might not be caught in a standard test.
Check the interior for excessive wear on the seats or steering wheel that might contradict the 51,690-mile reading. Given the age of the vehicle, also inspect the rubber components and wipers for cracking, which can happen over time regardless of distance driven.
This 2014 Citroen DS3 shows significantly below-average mileage, having covered just 51,690 miles over nearly 12 years. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with four passes recording no defects and only one minor failure in late 2024 that was rectified immediately two miles later. The 1.6cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency that is well-supported by the recorded data.
The DS3 is generally considered a robust choice, provided the turbo or atmospheric engines have followed regular service intervals.
