2020 Citroen Spacetourer 2.0L Diesel · LL70 EEG

The defining mechanical story of this 2020 Citroen Spacetourer is one of broadly stable roadworthiness with only minor and advisory observations recorded across the three tests on file. The most recent test on 23 December 2025 concluded with a pass, but the examiner noted a minor defect for defective windscreen wiper blades on both the near and off sides and recorded an advisory that the offside rear inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. The 2024 test was completely clean with no advisories or defects, while the 2023 pass carried a tyre-related advisory for a nail in the nearside rear, a child seat fitted preventing adult belt inspection, and a minor for an obviously under-inflated nearside rear tyre. There are no recorded failures, no corrosion advisories, no suspension, brake, exhaust, or structural items flagged, and no repeat defects spanning more than one test, which represents a relatively untroubled MOT record. The trend across the three years is steady rather than deteriorating, though the recurring appearance of tyre-related items at the rear is the one consistent theme worth weighing. The recorded mileage of 25,675 against a six-year registration indicates an annual accumulation of roughly 4,279 miles, which is substantially below the typical usage rate for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows tests at 2023, 2024, and 2025, so the vehicle has been presented annually without extended gaps off the road, suggesting it has remained in regular use rather than laid up for prolonged periods. Lower mileage generally correlates with slower wear on friction components such as brake discs and pads, clutches where applicable, and tyre tread, but it can also mean longer standing periods between uses which can affect 12V battery condition, brake caliper seizure due to corrosion on slider mechanisms, and the drying and cracking of rubber seals. For this particular Spacetourer the low figure is consistent with light-duty private or small-family use rather than commercial shuttle work, and the annual presentation suggests it has not been abandoned for long stretches. None of the recorded items point to heavy-use wear patterns, and the absence of suspension or exhaust advisories aligns with the lower-than-average mileage profile. For a prospective buyer, the most worthwhile inspection focus is the rear axle and tyre set-up, given that two of the three recorded tests have flagged tyre condition at the rear. The 2025 advisory specifically notes edge wear on the offside rear inner tyre, which on a rear-driven or heavily loaded MPV can indicate incorrect pressures, a geometry misalignment, or simply worn-out rubber from age-related hardening given the modest mileage. On a test drive, listen for any humming or drone that changes with speed which could point to uneven tyre wear developing into a wheel bearing issue, and check that the vehicle tracks straight on a flat road without steering pull, as persistent under-inflation and edge wear can also aggravate alignment. Inspect all four tyres for even tread depth across the width, signs of cracking in the sidewalls from age despite remaining tread, and confirm the spare or inflation kit is present and serviceable. Given the wiper blade minor defect recorded in 2025, verify both arms sweep cleanly without streaking or chattering across the windscreen, and check the wiper linkage for any knocking as it parks and returns, as worn linkages on Spacetourers can develop play. The remaining areas warrant a standard but targeted physical check rather than suspicion-driven scrutiny. With no brake, suspension, or exhaust advisories on file, a test drive should still confirm firm and even brake pedal feel without judder under heavy braking, no pulling to one side, and that the handbrake holds on an incline, as low-mileage vehicles are particularly prone to rear caliper slider corrosion which can cause binding or uneven handbrake application. Listen for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn anti-roll bar bushes or drop links, components not specifically flagged but worth confirming given the age. Under the bonnet, look for signs of oil misting around the cam cover or turbo pipework, and check the coolant and brake fluid levels and condition, while underneath the vehicle inspect for any fresh staining on the subframe or engine oil pan. Finally, verify the full service documentation and confirm the tyre pressures and rear alignment have been attended to since the 2025 advisory, as resolving the cause of the edge wear is essential to prevent the pattern repeating and to ensure the Spacetourer continues its clean MOT trajectory.
