2011 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · LC60 VDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 114,784 miles passed with only an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the limit. This represents a significant improvement compared to the 2024 test, where multiple suspension and drivetrain faults were flagged. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspections, the historical data suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of inspection failure. The mileage pattern is inconsistent over the vehicle's life. While the odometer averages roughly 7,600 miles per year, there is a massive jump between April 2019 (84,525 miles) and October 2022 (157,165 miles), where the vehicle covered over 72,000 miles in just three years. Conversely, the recorded mileage in October 2025 at 114,784 miles is significantly lower than the 2023 entry of 169,879 miles, indicating a potential clerical error or a recorded entry in the official record, as mileage cannot decrease. This discrepancy must be verified against the physical clock to ensure the data accuracy. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain components. The record shows repeated issues with deteriorated CV boots and ball joint dust covers, which can lead to premature joint failure if left unaddressed. There is also a documented history of corrosion on the front and rear suspension components from 2022, which requires a thorough check for structural integrity on the chassis. Given the frequent reports of thin brake pads and worn discs across multiple years, the braking system should be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers to ensure the recent replacements were performed correctly.
