2013 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · AV13 MXJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 with 134,312 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test days before passing, suggesting the previous owner addressed specific defects only when required for legal compliance rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 107,161 miles and the 2024 test at 121,137 miles, the vehicle covered 13,976 miles. The subsequent interval saw 13,175 miles covered over the year. This steady rate of use suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents the issues associated with long periods of seals, rubber bushings, and drivetrain components. While the most recent record shows no defects, the recurring failures in June 2024 and June 2025 indicate that components are reaching the end of their service life. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arms, as these are common points of failure on the Citan. Given the age and mileage, a close look at structural corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the brake lines is essential to ensure no hidden degradation is developing between the annual tests.
