2009 Citroen Dispatch 2.0L Diesel · LD59 OOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 129,917 miles passed with a minor failure for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This represents a slight improvement from the 2023 period where the vehicle failed on multiple mechanical fronts, suggesting that the current owner is addressing immediate safety-critical items following re-tests. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 129,917 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 18,000 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 13,300 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods ofກັບ, which generally benefits engine seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus inspection on the front braking system, as the 2023 record flagged the discs as being pitted and scored. While these were likely replaced shortly after, the recurring mention of worn and uneven tyres across 2023 and 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully addressed. The rear tyres should also be checked for uneven wear, as the history shows a trend of allowing rubber to reach the legal 2mm limit or show signs of balding before replacement. The persistent issue with the frayed nearside rear seat belt webbing, which appeared in 2022 and 2023, should be verified to ensure it has been properly replaced and not merely tugged over. Given the age of the Citroen Dispatch, a thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and floor is essential, as the record does not detail structural advisories but rust remains a common failure point for this era of van.
