About this car

This car is priced at £1,295, £1,217 below the AskCar estimate of £2,512. Such a large price gap is worth checking with the dealer. To work out the AskCar estimate, we analyse UK dealer adverts for 162 Citroen DS3 cars across different ages and specifications. Since we first spotted the advert 34 days ago, the asking price has dropped by £500. The recorded MOT expired on 4 October 2026, so ask the dealer whether it has been renewed.
