2018 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · K2 HTA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance history over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 November 2025 at 114,324 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory for light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates the onset of component wear rather than an immediate mechanical failure, as the vehicle maintained clean records in the three tests prior to this observation. The mileage data reflects high annual usage for its age, averaging approximately 14,300 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 73,221 miles and the November 2025 test at 114,324 miles, the vehicle covered over 41,000 miles. This consistent usage suggests a commercial or long-distance commuting application, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the lack of defects in the 2022 through 2024 tests suggests that the previous owners attended to necessary mechanical requirements despite the high mileage accumulation. A buyer should physically inspect the offside rear suspension to determine if the reported misting has progressed to a significant leak which would necessitate shock absorber replacement. Given the high-mile profile, a thorough check of the brake discs and suspension bushes is advised to identify any signs of premature wear or perished rubber. While the 2021 failure for an inoperative plate lamp was a minor electrical issue, the overall lack of structural corrosion or brake advisories suggests the chassis has been well-maintained relative to its heavy usage pattern.
