2022 Citroen Dispatch 1400 ENT PRO B-HDI SS 2.0L Diesel · AX22 HKK

The most recent MOT, carried out on 27 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the statutory safety and emissions standards. The only blemish in the recent history is the failure recorded on 29 July 2025, when both front tyres were deemed dangerous for having tread depths below the legal 1.6 mm limit. The subsequent successful tests in 2025 and 2026 suggest that the tyre issue was remedied and that the vehicle’s overall maintenance trend has stabilised rather than deteriorated. With a recorded mileage of 24 404 mi for a 2022 model, the car averages roughly 6 100 mi per year. This figure sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a light commercial vehicle of this age and points to a relatively gentle duty cycle. However, the modest annual mileage may also imply periods of prolonged inactivity, which can introduce age‑related wear such as rubber hardening, battery sulphation, and corrosion of brake components even when the clocked miles are low. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the condition of all four tyres, not merely the tread depth but also sidewall integrity, checking for cracking, bulging, or signs of dry rot that can develop with age and standing. While the front tyres have evidently been replaced or resurfaced, confirm that the replacement was recent and that the tread is uniform across the tread width. On a test drive listen for any thumping or vibration that could indicate a tyre out‑of‑balance, and feel for any pull to one side that may betray uneven wear or alignment issues. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for play or leakage, as a vehicle that has spent time idle can develop corrosion on mounting points and accelerated wear on rubber components. Given the vehicle’s four‑year age, a thorough check of the 12 V battery is advisable; look for swollen cases, corroded terminals and verify that the cranking voltage remains above 12.4 V after a short load test. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods, and verify that the calipers move freely without binding. Finally, confirm that the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar schedule – typically every 12 months or 12 000 mi – as fluid degradation can occur irrespective of mileage and affect lubrication, cooling and braking performance.
