2014 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · LR14 AEE

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz Citan presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 15 November 2023, where it passed at 132,420 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the latest pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward. This suggests the vehicle entered its current ownership in a mechanically sound condition relative to the test standard. Mileage accumulation tracks at roughly 11,035 miles per year against a twelve-year lifespan, a typical figure for this van class. The record shows 109,669 miles at the February 2021 test, rising to 117,846 by October 2022 and 132,420 by November 2023, equating to about 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually with no abrupt jumps. A notable gap exists between the February 2021 and October 2022 entries, leaving roughly twenty months untested, though the subsequent pass at 117,846 miles indicates no lapse was flagged. The data itself is sparse, with every test either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical faults. Both failures dated 25 October 2022 and 15 November 2023 occurred at 117,838 and 132,414 miles respectively, each showing no defects recorded before an immediate same-day pass at marginally higher mileage. This pattern points to documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worn components. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the history, so the MOT alone offers no evidence of structural or mechanical decline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front suspension arms, rear coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's age and 132,420-mile use. The clean record provides no flag for structural integrity, yet twelve years of light commercial duty commonly hides perished rubber mounts and mild underbody corrosion unseen in a pass certificate. Verify service history to confirm consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were replaced outside the MOT cycle.
