2016 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · KM66 VRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 158,964 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior due to worn front brake pads and pitted discs. The persistence of minor defects, such as windscreen damage, damaged mirrors, and seat belt fraying across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they become strictly necessary to pass a test failure. At 158,964 miles over ten years, this Citan has covered a high average of approximately 16,000 miles annually. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with a 21,767-mile jump between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 17,205 miles in the following year. This rapid mileage accumulation is typical for a commercial-use light vehicle but places significant stress on wear components, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with the braking system and lighting assemblies. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and interior components. The record consistently flags the brake pedal wearing smooth through to the edge since 2022, alongside repeated reports of thin pads and scored discs, indicating a lack of attention to routine service intervals. The offside seat belt webbing has been noted as frayed since 2023, representing a potential safety risk that requires replacement if the material degrades further. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also scrutinize the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of play, as these are common points of failure on Mercedes vans at this mileage.
