2018 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · DF68 LFX

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance history, though it shows a recurring pattern of attention required regarding its consumable components. The most recent inspection in January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting that the car is currently in a roadworthy condition. However, looking back further reveals a failure in early 2026 due to a faulty offside headlamp dipped beam and a stop lamp issue, indicating that while the vehicle is maintained, basic electrical safety elements are occasionally addressed only upon failing tests. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. It currently sits at 78,617 miles, which is within the expected range for a Mercedes-Benz Citan of this age. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly and monitored annually. The advisories regarding nearside and offside tyres being close to the legal limit across multiple years indicate that the owner replaces rubber as needed rather than at fixed intervals. A potential buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and steering components during a physical inspection. The history specifically noted play in the nearside outer track rod end ball joint in 2023, and multiple adviseories for tyre wear suggest that the alignment or front-end geometry may be prone to uneven wear. Additionally, while no structural corrosion has been flagged yet, a thorough check of the chassis and underbody is always prudent for a commercial vehicle of this age to ensure no hidden rust is developing beyond the DVSA inspectors' visual capture.
