2010 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · LL10 BGU

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2010 Citroen Dispatch is currently failing, with the most recent test on 2025-06-19 showing a PASSED result at 188,693 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has been tested within the last year, placing the vehicle at risk of a failure in the upcoming 2026 test. The maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has maintained a consistent performance record through the 2025 test, though the specific faults observed in the September 2023 test suggest a lack of basic upkeep. The 2025 test revealed two distinct issues: a severely deteriorating constant velocity boot on the front outer drive shaft and a worn tire on the nearside front, both of which are not covered by the 5.2.3 (e) legal limit. The mileage pattern for this vehicle is characterized by rapid accumulation and significant gaps between tests. The 2022 test recorded 187,642 miles, while the 2021 test recorded 182,107 miles, creating a 5,535-mile gap between the most recent and oldest recorded data points. This gap suggests that the vehicle was not maintained in a way that would allow for significant wear accumulation over such a distance, or that the maintenance has been irregular. The 2025 test at 188,693 miles falls within the typical range for an 11,793-mile per year vehicle, but the specific faults found in the September 2023 test indicate that this mileage has not been used to mitigate the identified mechanical defects. To determine the roadworthiness, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks. The most critical finding is the constant velocity boot on the front outer drive shaft, which is a structural component that, if not replaced, will fail under load. The nearside front tyre, while not exceeding the 5.2.3 (e) limit, shows signs of wear that may compromise the tyre's ability to handle impacts. Additionally, the oil leak noted in the 2022 test is a serious mechanical risk that requires immediate attention as it suggests fluid loss and potential overheating. The absence of defects in the 2021 test does not negate the presence of these recurring faults, and the 2025 test failure confirms that the vehicle is currently in a state of non-roadworthiness.
