2017 MERCEDES-BENZ CITAN 109 CDI BLUEEFFICIENCY1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 44,597 miles. The DVSA record shows no defects or advisories across its passes. A failure on 2 December 2025 at 44,104 miles recorded no defects, an administrative anomaly that resolved with the subsequent pass weeks later. The trend is stable rather than worsening. The Citan shows 44,597 miles over roughly nine years, averaging near 4,955 miles annually, which is low for a 2017 light commercial derivative. The record traces 16,635 miles on 29 December 2020, rising to 30,049 miles by 9 November 2022, then 36,665 miles on 2 May 2024. A jump to 44,104 miles by 2 December 2025 and 44,597 miles on 19 January 2026 reflects sparse recent use. Such low accumulation implies lighter duties or prolonged standing, though the sparse test history leaves gaps exceeding twelve months between some entries. Despite the absence of logged faults, a buyer should physically examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for degradation linked to low-mileage stagnation. The tester flagged nothing on corrosion or structural integrity, yet moisture ingress during idle periods can hide surface rust on sills and chassis members. Verify exhaust emissions and binding calipers during a road trial. Previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, as no tyre or wiper advisories appear, suggesting reasonable routine care. The unexplained December 2025 fail warrants confirmation that retest paperwork aligns with the clean January pass.
