2021 Mercedes-Benz Citan 109 Pure CDI 1.5L Diesel · KC21 RYR

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026, where it passed at 43,856 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. While the 2024 and 2025 tests flagged recurring advisories, the latest test confirms those issues have been rectified, suggesting the current owner has addressed previous faults rather than ignoring them. At roughly five years old with 43,856 miles recorded, the annual accumulation of approximately 8,771 miles is typical for a light commercial diesel. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes. The 2025 test recorded 39,981 miles, and by April 2026 the odometer read 43,856, representing 3,875 miles over nine months, which is consistent with regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage running. The recurring advisories in 2024 and 2025 centred on front brake disc wear and minor oil leaks, both flagged as not serious at the time of testing. The July 2024 failure for a defective nearside rear registration plate lamp was a minor electrical oversight, and the simultaneous advisory for front tyre wear on both edges suggests possible tracking or inflation neglect under a previous keeper. None of these defects point to structural corrosion, suspension failure, or drivetrain damage. The fact that all advisories disappeared by April 2026 indicates the front brake discs and any oil leak source have likely been replaced or repaired, and the tyre wear pattern has been corrected. A buyer should still verify the condition of the front brake discs and pads in person, confirm there are no fresh oil leaks around the engine or gearbox, and check tyre wear evenly across all four wheels. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the chassis, subframe, and suspension mounting points, as panel vans of this type can suffer from surface rust even when structurally sound. The clean April 2026 result is reassuring, but a short test drive under braking will confirm the front braking system is performing without vibration, pulling, or uneven wear.
