2010 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · LG60 ADO

The Citroen Dispatch presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 88,637 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available records is stable, showing no mechanical advisories or faults across five tests between April 2024 and March 2026. The two failed tests on 23 March 2026 and 23 April 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, both with no defects logged, point to procedural rather than mechanical failures. Mileage accumulation remains low for a sixteen-year-old van. The record shows 76,195 miles at the April 2024 test, rising to 80,569 by March 2025 and 88,637 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 4,400 miles in the first interval and 8,100 in the second, still beneath the average annual figure of 5,540 implied by total odometer reading. Such sparse, clean records with annual gaps suggest the vehicle spent periods lightly used or stationary, a pattern that often masks degraded rubber components and surface corrosion not yet flagged by testers. The clean defect list gives little evidence of skipped basic upkeep such as tyre tread or wiper blades, yet the zero-defect fails on 23 April 2024 and 23 March 2026 at identical mileages to passes suggest previous owners tolerated administrative lapses rather than mechanical neglect. Prospective buyers should nonetheless scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and structural corrosion in person, as these components degrade with age and standing regardless of test outcomes. A road test must check for binding calipers and exhaust emissions anomalies that a static annual inspection can miss.
