2021 Citroen Dispatch 1400 Driver Bhdi S/S 2.0L Diesel · LD71 FWL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging component wear. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 71,355 miles identified advisories for both the nearside and offside rear brake discs being pitted or scored, the vehicle passed without failures. This marks a departure from the previous two annual tests, indicating that the vehicle is entering a phase of requiring mechanical attention due to high usage. The mileage profile indicates heavy-duty use, averaging over 14,000 miles per year across its five-year life. Between the February 2024 test at 20,937 miles and the February 2025 test at 47,383 miles, the vehicle covered 26,446 miles in a single twelve-month period. This rapid accumulation suggests the van has been used for significant commercial duties or long-distance motorway work, which typically leads to accelerated degradation of suspension components and braking hardware. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system during a physical viewing. The pitting and scoring on the rear discs suggest the vehicle may have sat in corrosive environments or that the calipers are not cleaning the rotors effectively. Given the high mileage, the inspector should also examine the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often fail under the consistent loads associated with a Dispatch. Checking for oil leaks around the diesel engine is also advisable to ensure the high annual mileage has not compromised the engine's integrity.
