2015 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · EJ15 RYT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test in November 2023 at 127,059 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for an insecure nearside rear exhaust and a deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft boot. While the vehicle currently meets the legal standard, the recurring nature of CV boot failures across multiple years suggests that previous owners only addressed mechanical components once they reached a point of threshold. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical commercial or heavy use profile, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 97,435 miles and November 2023 at 127,059 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles. This high usage places significant stress on rubber components and suspension elements. Given that the last recorded MOT was over two and a half years ago, the vehicle is significantly overdue for a test, increasing the risk of undetected mechanical degradation since the last recorded inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire drivetrain and suspension system. The history shows a persistent issue with drive shaft boots, which were flagged in 2021, 2022, and 2023. You should check for grease leakage around the inner and outer joints which would indicate imminent CV joint failure. Additionally, the 2022 failure regarding tyres worn to the limit on the edges suggests potential alignment issues or neglect of basic maintenance. Inspect the exhaust mounting hangers and brackets to ensure the repair made in 2023 remains secure and free from excessive corrosion or play.
