2022 Citroen Spacetourer 1.5L Diesel · NK72 AKF

The Citroen Spacetourer currently holds a valid MOT pass from June 2026 but its maintenance trend reveals a reactive pattern of annual failures on consumables rather than steady care. In the June 2026 test at 75,391 miles, the tester failed the vehicle for a nearside rear tyre bulge indicating partial structural separation and a damaged nearside front mirror housing. A pass recorded the same day at 75,389 miles retained the mirror advisory. This mirrors the July 2025 sequence where the tester failed the van at 55,591 miles on offside and nearside rear tyre tread below 1.6 mm, nearside front tyre worn on edge, ineffective wiper and front brake pads under 1.5 mm with pitted discs, then issued a clean pass next day. The repeated annual failures suggest previous owners deferred basic upkeep until the test deadline. The recorded odometer shows 55,591 miles at the July 2025 test and 75,389 miles by June 2026, equating to roughly 19,800 miles in eleven months. From its 2022 manufacture to mid-2025 the vehicle averaged near 18,500 miles per year, a high figure for a four-year-old MPV. Such accumulation explains the worn tyres and thin brake pads. The MOT history is sparse, covering only the first two test windows, yet the high mileage implies sustained commercial or motorway use rather than light private running. A buyer should physically verify the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to sidewall bulges and remaining tread, as the record shows three tyres illegal in July 2025 and a dangerous rear bulge in June 2026. The front brake discs were pitted and pads measured under 1.5 mm thick at the 2025 failure; inspect for scoring and measure pad thickness to confirm recent replacement. The damaged nearside front mirror housing remains an unresolved defect. No suspension bushes, coil springs or structural corrosion appear in the data, but a thorough check of steering and underbody is prudent given the distance covered.
