2020 Citroen E-Spacetourer Business Electric · FD06 AAA

The most recent MOT, carried out on 10 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. Over the preceding five‑year period the car has consistently cleared its annual tests, with the only non‑defect note being an advisory in August 2025 concerning the off‑side front tyre being close to the legal tread limit. This pattern suggests a generally stable maintenance regime, with no evidence of deteriorating components, though the tyre advisory indicates that the tyre wear profile should be monitored closely. At six years old the Citroën E‑SpaceTourer Business has logged 23 866 miles, equating to roughly 3 978 miles per annum. This is considerably below the UK average for a vehicle of this age and points to either predominantly short‑haul use or periods of inactivity. Low annual mileage can be advantageous in terms of reduced wear on engine internals, suspension bushings and brake discs, but it may also imply that the car has spent extended periods standing, which can promote battery sulphation, tyre sidewall perishing and corrosion of brake components or chassis mounting points. When you inspect the vehicle, give particular attention to the front tyres. Verify that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm across the entire width and check for uneven wear, sidewall cracking or dry rot, which are common in tyres that have been stored for long periods. During a test drive listen for any thudding or squeaking from the front axle that could indicate worn suspension bushes, misaligned coil springs or developing tyre‑related vibration. Also examine the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven pad transfer; a binding caliper may manifest as a pulsating pedal or a faint shudder when applying the brakes. Beyond the tyres, assess the condition of the 12‑volt battery, especially its charge holding capacity, as low‑use vehicles are prone to sulphated cells. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leakage or old, discoloured coolant, which can suggest that scheduled fluid changes have been missed despite the low mileage. Check the under‑carriage for corrosion around the suspension mounting points and exhaust system, and ensure that the service book shows regular oil, filter and timing‑belt (or chain) maintenance in line with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals. Verifying that all scheduled time‑based services have been performed will give you confidence that the vehicle’s mechanical health is in line with its age and modest mileage.
