2012 Citroen DS3 Dstyle + 1.6L Petrol · WK12 WFC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 87,476 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs regarding consumable components to a current state of apparent stability. While previous tests highlighted recurring issues with hardware, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the owner has recently addressed the necessary maintenance to bring the car to a clean standard. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 87,476 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,250 miles, which is consistent with low-mileage commuting. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 2,800 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026, and another 1,100 miles in the year leading up to that. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle is not suffering from long periods of stagnation, which often mitigates the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows a persistent history of pitting and scoring on the discs across 2023 and 2025. Although these were noted as not seriously weakened, the recurring nature indicates a tendency toward corrosion or perhaps aggressive use of the brakes. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the pads and ensure that the calipers are not seizing. Additionally, given the previous advisories for tyre perishing and edge wear in 2022 and 2024, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure no alignment issues are causing uneven wear.
