2012 CITROEN DISPATCH2.0L Diesel

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a stable maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 16 April 2025 showing a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows a failed test on that same date, the lack of specific defect data makes it impossible to determine the exact cause of that failure. However, the transition from a clean pass in 2024 to a clean pass in 2025 suggests that any issues identified during the failed inspection were successfully rectified before the subsequent pass. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical commercial use cycle for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between March 2022 and April 2024, the vehicle covered 19,643 miles. A significant increase in usage is evident in the most recent period, with the mileage jumping from 81,817 in April 2024 to 141,253 in April 2025. This represents an annual average of approximately 59,436 miles over that specific year, which is a sharp departure from the 10,090 miles per year average seen across the vehicle's entire lifespan. This sudden surge in mileage suggests the van has recently transitioned into much heavier, high-intensity use. A buyer should focus on inspecting the suspension and drivetrain components due to this recent high-mileage period. The rapid increase in distance covered in the last twelve months places significantly higher stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers than the previous years. Given the vehicle's age and the increased workload, a thorough check for play in the steering linkage and wear in the CV joints is necessary. The absence of advisories in the recent records is a positive indicator, but the sudden increase in annual mileage warrants a close inspection of the braking system. Check the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the pads, as high-frequency usage often leads to uneven wear or binding calipers. Additionally, inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around the structural mounting points, as these are common areas of concern on older Citroen Dispatch models.
