2010 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · LG60 RHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 232,217 miles passed without defects, the failure recorded just ten days prior indicates a significant lapse in basic inspections. The trend shows that mechanical issues are only addressed when they result in an MOT failure, suggesting the previous owner may have neglected routine maintenance until it became legally required to keep the vehicle. At 232,217 miles, this Citroen Dispatch has clocked significantly above its age, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between August 2019 and May 2024, during which the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles. Since the 2024 test, the usage has accelerated, covering nearly 18,000 miles in a single year. This high rate of accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the multiple mechanical failures identified during the May 2025 inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 failure highlighted excessive play in both the offside lower steering linkage ball joint and the track rod end. These are critical steering components that, if worn, can compromise vehicle handling and safety. The record also noted dangerously thin front brake pads and bald tyres during that same period, indicating that consumables are frequently run until nearing the end of their service life. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and structural integrity is essential, as the MOT record does not account for surface rust until it reaches a failure threshold.
