2015 Citroen Dispatch 2.0L Diesel · LD65 VRY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 132,815 miles passed despite new advisories for deteriorated and corroded rear brake hoses on both sides. While the vehicle has managed to pass its inspections, the recurring nature of minor faults across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses issues once they reach a failure point or a legal threshold. The mileage profile is high for an eleven-year-old van, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. This density suggests heavy commercial use which typically accelerates the wear on major mechanical components. Between February 2024 at 129,197 miles and February 2025 at 131,132 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,000 miles, yet the overall annual average remains explains the persistent wear on friction-related items such as the brake discs and tyres noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the 2026 advisory for corroded brake hoses indicates an imminent risk of failure if not replaced. The history also reveals a consistent issue with front brake discs, with both flagged as pitted and scored in 2024, which often indicates either prolonged inactivity or seized caliper operation. Furthermore, the frequent advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit or worn on the edges suggest potential neglect of basic maintenance, necessitating a check of the suspension geometry and alignment for any uneven wear.
