2015 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · WT15 AEO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-11-06 at 141,132 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, this test predates the current date by eight months, meaning the car has not been retested since. Previous MOTs show a mixed pattern: a failure on 2024-11-09 at 130,679 miles (no defects recorded) followed by a pass on 2024-11-11 at 130,726 miles. The 2023 tests, both on 2023-08-25, included a failure and a pass at the same mileage, though neither listed defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved issues, but no structural or mechanical failures were documented. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring critical defects, though the lack of recent testing raises concerns about current roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 141,132 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 12,830 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 130,726 miles in November 2024 to 141,132 miles in November 2025—over 10,400 miles in 12 months—indicates rapid wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The sparse MOT record, with no defects noted in passing tests, suggests either meticulous maintenance or incomplete reporting. However, the absence of corrosion, structural damage, or emission issues in the records is reassuring, though not definitive. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter, warrants scrutiny due to potential emissions-related failures. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the expired test and rapid mileage accumulation necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity and address any unrecorded faults.
