2018 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · DC67 GJO

The Mercedes-Benz Citan presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 April 2025 at 73,968 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test showed no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle failed twice on administrative grounds rather than mechanical faults: on 22 April 2025 and 29 February 2024, both at the same mileages as the subsequent passes, with no defects recorded either time. The pattern suggests paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old van, averaging roughly 9,246 miles per year. The odometer moved from 39,369 miles at the February 2023 test to 60,994 miles by February 2024, then jumped to 73,968 miles by April 2025. That equates to heavy use in the first interval (around 21,600 miles in twelve months) and lighter use in the second (about 13,000 miles in fourteen months). The data is sparse, with only three test years logged, and all passes and fails carried zero advisories, so no wear trends on consumables or structure are visible in the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT history offers no visibility of these components beyond the absence of flagged defects. The repeated zero-advisory fails without recorded faults imply the previous keeper addressed only what the tester required at the bay and may have skipped discretionary upkeep. Verify the VIN and test certificate paperwork given the two same-day fail-then-pass sequences, which often point to missing documentation rather than rectified defects.
