2021 Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 Pure CDI 1.5L Diesel · OE21 AGV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 at 76,015 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2026-02-19 at 75,990 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being noted, raising questions about the testing process or potential administrative errors. Earlier tests from 2024-06-12 and 2025-02-03 also passed without issues, suggesting a consistent maintenance pattern. The absence of recorded defects in all tests implies no critical mechanical or structural faults, though the failed test without explanation warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,015 miles over five years equates to an average of 15,203 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A notable spike occurred between 2024-06-12 (65,900 miles) and 2025-02-03 (67,392 miles), with 1,492 miles added in eight months, followed by 8,598 miles in the subsequent 12 months up to 2026-02-20. This rapid accumulation suggests increased usage, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like tyres and brakes. The sparse MOT data prior to 2024-06-12 limits insight into earlier maintenance trends, but the recent tests show no signs of escalating issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the high mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs does not preclude checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may not trigger immediate failures. Corrosion in underbody areas, especially around the exhaust system, should be assessed, as high mileage often correlates with increased exposure to road salt and environmental factors. The failed MOT without recorded defects highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond official records.
