2020 Citroen Dispatch 1200 EN-Prise Bhdi SS 1.5L Diesel · CA20 NTY

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 recorded multiple defects, including a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, cracking or perishing on both rear tyres, an oil leak, and a front inner brake disc worn but not excessively. These issues suggest ongoing wear on tyres, braking components, and potential fluid system degradation. The vehicle’s 83,473-mile odometer, recorded six years after its 2020 registration, equates to roughly 13,912 miles annually—a high figure for its age. This mileage level typically correlates with increased wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain parts, though it does not definitively indicate heavy use or neglect without further context. Recurring defects include tyre damage, oil leaks, and brake disc wear. Tyre issues were first noted in 2024, with both rear tyres showing cracking or perishing, and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. Oil leaks were recorded in 2024 and 2025, though described as “not excessive.” Brake disc wear was flagged in 2024 and 2025, with the 2025 MOT noting the front inner disc as “worn but not excessively.” These patterns suggest gradual deterioration rather than sudden failure, but the persistence of similar issues across multiple MOTs indicates unresolved underlying causes, such as alignment problems, improper tyre pressure, or ongoing mechanical stress. The trend of defects appears to be worsening. The 2024 MOT included a failed test due to a windscreen wiper not clearing the screen effectively, alongside repeated tyre and oil leak issues. By 2025, while the vehicle passed, the defects remained, with no indication of significant repairs addressing the root causes.
