2015 Citroen DS3 1.2L Petrol · YR15 AEK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 November 2025 at 54,380 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating a vehicle that consistently meets minimum legal safety and emissions standards. The mileage is notably low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 4,944 miles per year. The distance covered between 20 November 2023 at 41,419 miles and 7 November 2024 at 47,753 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,300 miles. The most recent interval between November 2024 and November 2025 saw a further increase to 54,380 miles. This consistent, low-intensity use suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual and suggests a well-maintained example. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dormant issues. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur due to age regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as cars that spend long periods stationary often develop rust that impairs braking efficiency. Verify the condition of the battery and engine oil, as infrequent short trips can lead to premature battery failure and sludge buildup. While the MOT record is clean, these age-related consumables require physical verification to ensure the car has not suffered from under-use.
