2011 Citroen DS3 1.6L Diesel · RO61 UEU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 114,214 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes following immediate re-tests. While the record shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues quickly to ensure legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 10,760 miles, followed by another 10,584 miles in the year leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals, bushes, and brake lines that might otherwise dry out or corrode from inactivity. Despite the clean pass records, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the 114,000-mile mark, components such as coil springs, ball joints, and shock absorbers are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common areas for French vehicles of this era. Since the MOT history does not flag specific advisories, verifying the thickness of brake pads and the condition of tyre sidew is essential to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in accelerated wear.
