2016 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · AX16 DUH

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the 18 December 2025 MOT at 165,870 mi with no defects recorded. The pass follows a failure on 17 December 2025 that highlighted tyre cuts, thin rear brake pads, brake‑pipe corrosion and service‑brake binding, so the most recent remedial work has restored compliance and the maintenance trend is moving upward. Mileage has risen from 52,145 mi in August 2019 to 165,870 mi in December 2025, averaging roughly 16–18 k mi per year. The increase is steady, with no prolonged gaps, but the annual mileage sits above the typical private‑car average, suggesting higher wear on consumables and suspension components. Repeated tyre‑edge wear noted in 2022, 2020 and the 2025 failure points to a pattern of delayed tyre replacement despite the relatively high mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should verify that all four tyres have sufficient tread and no sidewall damage, given the history of cuts and edge wear. Inspect the rear brake pads, discs and the balance of both front and rear brakes for uneven wear or lingering binding, and check the condition of the off‑side brake pipe for corrosion. Examine the near‑side constant‑velocity joint boot for splits or ingress of dirt, and confirm that both windscreen wipers clear effectively and that the front position lamp operates. A visual check for rust on the chassis, suspension bushes and coil springs will further confirm that no hidden structural deterioration has developed.
