2018 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · LF18 ABX

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT history, having passed its most recent inspection on 17 March 2025 at 174,218 miles with no defects recorded. The record shows a consistent pattern of passes over the last four years, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state despite heavy use. A failure on 18 March 2024 was resolved quickly, with a pass granted just three weeks later on 8 April 2024. The mileage is exceptionally high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 21,000 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between March 2022 and March 2023, where the odometer rose from 96,432 to 149,225 miles. This indicates a period of intense commercial duty. The mileage has remained high but more consistent since, adding roughly 25,000 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests. Despite the clean MOT sheets, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of high-wear components. The absence of recorded advisories is unusual for a vehicle with 174,218 miles, meaning a buyer should specifically check for worn suspension bushes, sagging coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs. Heavy-duty use often masks gradual deterioration of the drivetrain and clutch that an MOT test will not detect. Attention should be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly if the vehicle operated in coastal areas or on salted winter roads. While the tester flagged no structural integrity issues, the sheer volume of miles increases the likelihood of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox seals. A manual check of the service history is required to confirm that timing belts and water pumps have been replaced in line with manufacturer intervals, as these are critical failure points for this mileage.
