Common Problems with the
2025–2026 Citroën Dispatch (K0)

The Dispatch is a working van, so its front suspension takes a constant hammering from payloads, potholes and salted UK roads. DVSA recalls R/2019/027 and R/2019/145 cover front wishbone lower ball joints that can slacken under load, R/2025/311 covers lower control-arm bushings whose bolts can corrode and snap, and an earlier recall addressed loose front shock-absorber bolts. Worn wishbones and bushes cause clunks over speed cushions, uneven tyre wear, vague steering and MOT failures, while seized or snapping bolts make repairs more expensive. Wear typically shows from 60,000 miles upwards on high-mileage working vans.

The twin sliding side doors are a key reason to buy a Dispatch, but the lower runner bearings and rollers wear out on high-mileage examples, and once they collapse the door sticks, grinds, drops out of alignment or fails to latch. UK owner reports on Dispatch IV vans describe doors that are very sticky on the runners and need the rear pushed hard to engage, and workshops routinely replace worn rollers and tracks. Onset is typically 40,000–70,000 miles on hard-worked vans. On a viewing, open and close both sliding doors several times from inside and out, listen for grinding, check the tracks for grit and flat rollers, and make sure each door latches with a firm shut rather than a slam.
