2017 Citroen Spacetourer 1.6L Diesel · LE17 CEO

The 2017 Citroen Spacetourer most recently passed its MOT on 8 August 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a clean bill of health at the time of test. Looking back over the available four-year MOT history, the vehicle has consistently passed at every annual test without any recorded failures, advisories, or minor defects, which represents a stable and reassuringly positive pattern rather than a worsening or improving trend. The complete absence of advisories across four consecutive tests is particularly notable for a people-carrier of this size and age, as suspension components, brake discs, and tyres on high-capacity MPVs commonly generate advisory notes as wear progresses. While this clean record is encouraging, it does still reflect only a snapshot of compliance at the time of inspection and does not guarantee the mechanical condition of components that fall outside the scope of the MOT test. With 126,067 miles recorded on a nine-year-old vehicle, the annual mileage works out at approximately 14,007 miles per year, which is broadly average to slightly above average for a vehicle of this type and age. There are no large gaps or sudden jumps in the recorded odometer readings across the MOT history that would suggest clocking or inconsistent use. Given that this is a large, heavy family or commercial-orientated MPV designed to carry multiple passengers, the annual mileage is entirely plausible and the consistent year-on-year accumulation suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than left standing for prolonged periods. The implication of this usage level is that consumable items including brake pads, brake discs, tyres, and drivetrain components have likely experienced steady wear over the years, and any high-mileage-specific maintenance such as timing belt replacement, dual mass flywheel condition (if applicable to the transmission type), and suspension component renewal should be verified through the service history. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection given the mileage and the calendar age of the vehicle. Start with the tyres, checking not only tread depth but also sidewall condition for cracking, perishing, or bulging, as rubber degrades with age regardless of mileage and a nine-year-old vehicle may be approaching the point where replacement is due even if tread remains. Inspect the brake discs for visible corrosion ridges around the outer edge, which is common on vehicles used for short urban journeys, and listen for any binding or scraping when driving. With this level of annual mileage, the brake pads and discs are very likely to have been replaced at least once and should be physically inspected for remaining thickness. Check the underside and wheel arches for corrosion, paying particular attention to structural integrity around the suspension mounting points and sills, as larger MPVs can be susceptible to underbody corrosion from winter road salt exposure. Beyond the brake and suspension components, several time-based service items require verification irrespective of the clean MOT history. The 12V battery should be tested for cranking performance and state of charge, as battery health deteriorates with calendar age and a nine-year-old original unit would almost certainly have been replaced at least once. Confirm that brake fluid and coolant have been changed at the recommended intervals, as these fluids degrade over time and a service book full of stamps should be requested to evidence this. Listen during a test drive for any suspension clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which may indicate worn anti-roll bar links, drop links, or bushes that would not necessarily show on an MOT. Finally, verify the service history stamps and ensure the timing belt or cambelt replacement interval has been observed, as this is a critical maintenance item on high-mileage vehicles and any omission could lead to costly consequences.
