2015 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · DF65 PCO

The Citan passed its most recent MOT on 24 June 2025 at 207,842 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the surrounding record shows two same-day fail-pass pairs that warrant scrutiny rather than reassurance. Mileage sat at 146,643 in June 2023, rose to 165,531 by 26 June 2024, then jumped to 207,830 by 20 June 2025. That final year added 42,299 miles, nearly double the 18,895 annual average for the vehicle's life and a clear sign of heavy commercial use. The 2024 and 2025 tests each show a fail on the recorded date followed by a pass days later with identical or near-identical mileages and no defects listed, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults. Because no advisories or defects appear across any entry, the buyer cannot rely on the MOT to flag wear. The high 207,842-mile total and the 42,000-mile final-year surge point to accelerated consumption of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and drivetrain seals. Inspect these components directly, along with subframe and sills for corrosion given the age and mileage. The repeated fail-then-pass pattern on 26 June 2024 and 20 to 24 June 2025 implies the seller may have used a lenient or informal tester. Verify the vehicle's identity and test authenticity via the DVSA portal, and commission an independent pre-purchase inspection before committing funds.
