2018 Citroen Spacetourer 1.6L Diesel · C3 HWV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 65,657 miles passed, the vehicle failed just two miles prior due to critical safety defects. The tester flagged an offside front tyre with exposed ply or cords alongside thinning front brake pads. This indicates that the previous owner neglected essential repairs until a formal test failure rather than performing maintenance during regular service intervals. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Data shows steady progression between February 2023 at 37,714 miles and February 2025 at 57,055 miles, representing an increase of roughly 10,000 miles annually during that period. The gap of over 13 months between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests suggests a stable and consistent usage pattern, which generally reduces stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mile vehicles. A buyer must personally inspect the front braking system to ensure the thin pads identified in the February test were actually replaced and that the discs show no signs of scoring or overheating. Given the failure for a damaged tyre, a thorough check of all four tyres for depth and age is required to avoid another immediate failure. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or suspension advisories in previous years, the focus should remain on these consumables and verifying that the owner has now transitioned to a more diligent maintenance schedule.
