2021 Citroen Dispatch 1400 EN-Prise Bhdi SS 2.0L Diesel · AV71 LMK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 November 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a positive maintenance trend, as the issues highlighted in the previous year's inspection appear to have been rectified. The absence of current defects suggests the vehicle is presently meeting the minimum legal roadworthiness standards, though a clean sheet at the last test does not negate the need for a thorough physical inspection given the vehicle's usage profile. With 79,703 miles recorded over approximately five years, this Citroen Dispatch has covered an average of nearly 16,000 miles per year. This is considered high annual usage for this vehicle type, implying a heavy duty cycle likely involving significant motorway or urban delivery work. Prospective buyers should be aware that such mileage accelerates the wear of critical consumables, including the timing belt, water pump, and various suspension components, which may be approaching their mid-life or end-of-life thresholds sooner than on a lower-mileage example. While the most recent test was clean, the 2024 advisories regarding nearside front tyre edge wear and pitted rear brake discs are mechanically significant. Edge wear often points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes and track rods, which can lead to premature tyre failure. During a test drive, listen for clunks over uneven surfaces and check for any steering drift. The mention of pitted or scored rear discs suggests a history of corrosion or heavy braking; ensure there is no brake shudder under deceleration and verify that the calipers are not binding, which would cause excessive heat and premature wear. Given the high mileage, it is imperative to verify the service history, specifically looking for evidence of oil changes at the correct intervals to protect the BHDI engine. Inspect the underside for fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox seals. Check the condition of the clutch pedal feel and gear engagement to ensure the drivetrain has not been overly stressed. Finally, examine the chassis and load area for structural corrosion, as commercial vehicles of this age often suffer from surface rust if they have been used in coastal areas or exposed to road salt without regular cleaning.
