2012 Citroen DS3 1.6L Petrol · W18 MAW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The July 2025 test at 51,026 miles shows a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness. While the record shows a failed test on the same day in July 2025, the immediate pass indicates that any identified fault was rectified promptly, maintaining a positive trend in compliance. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,645 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 34,217 miles in May 2022 to 51,026 miles in July 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light use, though the relatively low mileage can sometimes lead to issues associated with infrequent operation, such as perished rubber components or seized calipers. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the mechanical record appears exceptionally clean. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of consumables that often escape MOT scrutiny, such as tyre tread depth, wiper blade integrity, and the state of the battery. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox that might indicate seals have dried out from periods of standing. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues in the recorded history is a positive indicator for the vehicle's integrity. A buyer should confirm that the recent failure in July 2025 was for a minor consumable item rather than a more significant mechanical failure. Overall, the documentation supports a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided the typical wear patterns seen in higher-mileage examples of this age.
