2015 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · WT15 AEV

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz Citan is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-24 at 190,206 miles recording no defects. Maintenance trends over the past four years show stability, as all tests from 2021 to 2025 passed without issues. The vehicle’s last failed MOT on 2020-09-02 at 153,188 miles was recorded as having no defects, which is unusual but does not indicate a pattern of recurring problems. The absence of advisories or failures in subsequent tests suggests consistent upkeep, though the high mileage raises concerns about long-term component wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 190,206 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 17,291 miles annually, significantly above the UK’s typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 12-month interval between the 2020-09-02 test and the 2021-09-01 test, during which mileage increased by 7,211 miles. A sharp rise in mileage from 153,188 to 182,097 miles between 2020 and 2021—over 29,000 miles in 12 months—suggests heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on brakes, suspension, and drivetrain components. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring faults or structural issues flagged. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and usage. Corrosion under the chassis, especially around the exhaust system, is another risk given the mileage. While the MOT record shows no immediate failures, the rapid accumulation of miles since 2020 implies potential hidden wear that a physical inspection should confirm. The lack of advisories in recent tests is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase check.
