2021 Citroen Dispatch 1400 EN-Prise Bhdi SS 2.0L Diesel · LA70 FPU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred servicing on wear components. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 93,482 miles, the van passed only after a failure just one mile prior. While the owner rectified the failed position lamp, the tester still flagged multiple mechanical issues including pitted and scored brake discs and thinning brake pads. This suggests that repairs are only being addressed when forced by an MOT failure rather than through a preventative schedule. The Citroen shows high usage patterns for its five-year age, averaging approximately 18,700 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 58,822 miles and March 2025 at 76,258 miles, the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in just thirteen months. The rapid accumulation continued with another 17,224 miles recorded by the March 2026 test. This consistent high-mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension, which explains the recurring issues with tyres and brake hardware across the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the non-excessive oil leak noted since 2025 has persisted into 2026 without recorded resolution. The nearside front CV boot, which failed in 2025, requires verification to ensure no grease has contaminated the joint. Furthermore, the recurring mention of the nearside front tyre being worn on the outer edge in 2026 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that needs immediate attention to prevent premature tyre failure. The multiple stone chips in the windscreen should also be monitored for structural cracks as the glass ages.
