2014 Citroen DS3 1.2L Petrol · NG63 EEP

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2026-02-05, indicating that the 77,856-mile inspection was valid and free of defects. However, the record contains a significant gap between the most recent test and the current date, with the most recent failure occurring on 2026-02-04 at 77,766 miles. This suggests the vehicle has not been inspected in a year or two, creating a potential maintenance gap that could compromise safety. The mileage accumulation pattern indicates rapid growth over the last two years, from 77,766 miles to 77,856 miles. The consistent failure rate on both dates of 77,766 and 77,856 miles suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full inspection since the 2026-02-04 test. This pattern of consecutive failures without any recorded defects points to a lack of regular servicing, where consumables such as tires and wiper blades may have been neglected, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. Given the structural risks associated with the maintenance gap and the high mileage, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, binding front brakes, and structural integrity issues such as rust or corrosion. The 2026-02-04 failure at 77,766 miles is a critical indicator that the vehicle may require a full MOT at this time or an urgent check-up for suspension bushings and coil springs. The buyer must verify that the brakes are not binding and that the suspension is not in poor condition, as these components are the most likely to fail given the vehicle's age and the history of failed inspections.
