2016 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · DF66 AET

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 88,200 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in late May 2024, the vehicle passed again just three days later at the same mileage, suggesting the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between January 2023 at 60,418 miles and May 2024 at 87,903 miles, where the vehicle covered over 27,000 miles in just 16 months. Since that period, usage has slowed considerably, with only 300 miles recorded over the following 17 months. This sudden fluctuation suggests a period of heavy use followed by a more recent phase of lower mileage. Given the clean records in the two most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear under high-mileage cycles. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of fatigue or tearing, as the period of heavy use likely stressed these components. Because the vehicle has sat for long periods recently, it is also necessary to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently over extended durations.
