2020 Citroen Spacetourer 1.5L Diesel · HF20 BSY

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a concerning trend of worsening mechanical and structural neglect. While the 2025 test at 67,301 miles saw a pass, the most recent failure on 18 May 2026 at 70,868 miles highlights a significant safety issue regarding the offside rear passenger door failing to remain closed. This follows a pattern of recurring failures where basic maintenance appears to be reactive rather than proactive. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 40,274 miles in August 2023 to 70,868 miles in May 2026. Although the usage is predictable, the frequency of MOT failures suggests that the vehicle is being driven until components reach a critical state of failure rather than being serviced regularly. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the sliding door mechanisms and all secondary door latches, as the recent failure indicates a potential risk of the door opening while in motion. The history also reveals persistent issues with braking components. The tester flagged worn and pitted brake discs in both the June 2025 test and the August 2024 test, alongside thin brake pads. This suggests that while discs and pads are being replaced, the underlying maintenance of the braking system may be inconsistent. The record also indicates ongoing issues with consumables and minor leaks. Multiple tests between 2023 and 2025 flagged tyres worn to the legal limit and windscreen damage. An oil leak was noted as non-excessive during the August 2024 test, but the presence of any leak warrants a thorough underside inspection to check for seal degradation or gasket failure. Given the history of tyre and wiper failures, the general upkeep of minor consumables appears to be a recurring weakness in the vehicle's care history.
