2015 Citroen DS3 1.2L Petrol · YR15 AEA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 16 April 2025 at 78,260 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by retests. In both March 2024 and April 2025, the car failed the initial inspection but passed just two days later. This suggests the previous owners only addressed specific defects when forced by the legal test requirement rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 11 years of age, the recorded mileage of 78,260 miles represents a moderate usage pattern of approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the data between the August 2022 test at 62,393 miles and the March 2024 test at 73,449 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in nineteen months. Since the last test in April 2025, the vehicle has likely travelled several thousand miles, meaning the current MOT is over a year old as of July 2026. The MOT history shows no recorded mechanical failures, but the lack of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a Citroen of this age. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components for worn bushes and degraded control arms, as these often perish on the DS3 platform regardless of mileage. Given the time elapsed since the last test, a thorough check of brake caliper condition and surface corrosion on the discs is necessary to ensure no significant issues have developed since the 2025 inspection.
