2009 Citroen Dispatch 2.0L Petrol · LD59 DGE

The most recent MOT on 2023-03-03 recorded 211,527 miles, with the vehicle passing but noting multiple advisories. The supplementary restraint system warning lamp failed to illuminate, a safety-critical issue. Front brake pads were wearing thin, and oil leaks were present, though not excessive. Both front side repeaters showed slight discoloration, indicating potential electrical or lighting system degradation. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for safety-critical systems. Recurring mechanical issues include oil leaks, brake component wear, and tyre degradation. The 2022-03-02 MOT failed due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, a significant safety risk. Subsequent MOTs (2022-09-30, 2022-03-14) highlighted fuel hose chafing, corroded gas tanks, and tyres near legal limits. Brake hose damage and tyre perishing also reoccurred, pointing to persistent wear on critical components. These patterns indicate a vehicle subjected to heavy use or inadequate maintenance over time.
