2014 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · NV64 ABF

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-18 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 91,503 miles. This clean history over the past three tests—including a duplicate pass on the same day in 2024—suggests a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring failures. The absence of advisories or repeated faults implies previous owners adhered to basic servicing, though this does not preclude hidden issues requiring closer inspection. The final pass occurred just nine months ago, which is well within the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for this model, though the 2024 duplicate entry is unusual and may warrant questioning the test centre’s procedures. The recorded mileage of 91,503 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 7,625 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical usage for this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with intervals averaging around 6,000–7,000 miles per year, suggesting the vehicle was driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect. The lack of pre-MOT servicing records means no direct correlation between maintenance and test outcomes can be established, but the steady progression implies consumables like brakes and tyres were likely replaced on schedule. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear subframe mounts and bushings—due to the DS3’s known wear patterns in this area. The absence of brake-related failures does not guarantee current condition, so caliper binding, uneven disc wear, and master cylinder fluid condition should be checked. Corrosion checks are critical, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the rear subframe, as this model is prone to rust progression over time. Finally, the engine bay should be examined for oil leaks, timing belt wear (if applicable), and exhaust system integrity, as these are common failure points in this age range.
