2018 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · LD18 ERK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding wear-related components. The most recent test on July 7, 2026, at 44,400 miles identified pitted offside front brake disc and both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. While the vehicle has consistently passed, the recurring nature of brake disc and tyre issues suggests the owner only addresses these components when they approach failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 44,400 miles, this eight-year-old Dispatch has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,550 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with annual increases ranging between 6,000 and 7,500 miles between 2021 and 2026. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components. This is evidenced by the 2024 advisory for a nearside rear tyre showing cracking and perishing, indicating the material is failing due to time and exposure rather than tread use. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside front shock absorber was flagged for reduced damping in July 2024. The repeated reports of uneven tyre wear on inner edges across 2022, 2023, and 2026 point to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The braking system also requires close attention; the consistent pitting and scoring of discs across multiple years indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, allowing corrosion to form on the metal surfaces. Finally, verify the integrity of the offside seat belt webbing noted as damaged in 2025 and ensure the windscreen damage has been rectified, as this fault appeared in two consecutive tests.
