2012 Citroen Dispatch 2.0L Diesel · BG12 PDU

The Citroen Dispatch presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 19 January 2026 at 161,870 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history shows a recurring pattern of administrative failures without recorded mechanical defects. The January 2026 pass came six days after a failure on 13 January 2026 at the same mileage, and the same pattern occurred in January 2025 when a failure on 9 January at 156,673 miles was followed by a pass on the same date. These failures carry no listed defects, indicating documentation or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. The van has covered 161,870 miles over roughly fourteen years, averaging about 11,562 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. Mileage accumulation has been modest and consistent, with only 5,197 miles added between the January 2024 test at 154,183 miles and the January 2026 test at 161,870 miles. The record shows no rapid accumulation or long standing gaps, and all five entries from 2024 to 2026 are clean of advisories or recorded faults, suggesting the previous operators kept basic test standards met without neglected consumable wear reaching the advisory stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and commercial usage, as the MOT record does not capture wear below failure thresholds. The repeated same-day failure and pass cycles in January 2025 and January 2026 imply the vehicle may have been presented without required paperwork or minor non-mechanical compliance, so verify V5C authenticity and confirm no hidden corrosion or exhaust emissions issues exist that testers overlooked on the clean passes.
