Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a very lo
Given the low mileage, this vehicle is an attractive option, but the MOT history suggests a need for attention to consumables. You should verify that the lighting failures from the June 2026 test (stop lamps and registration plate lamps) have been permanently rectified and not just temporarily patched.
Particular attention should be paid to the wheels. The June 2024 MOT recorded that both the nearside and offside front inner road wheels were slightly distorted. Check for any evidence of curb damage or steering vibration during a test drive, as this could indicate a need for wheel replacement or alignment.
Equipped with a 1461cc diesel engine, this Citan is designed for efficiency. Running costs will be dominated by fuel and insurance, with the diesel engine typically offering strong MPG for urban and motorway use.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally standard for the segment, though Mercedes-Benz parts can carry a premium. Expect annual costs to be influenced by the vehicle's insurance group and the current diesel tax bracket for 2017 models.
Carefully inspect the tyres and wheels. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of worn tyres (2023, 2024, and 2026) and specifically noted distorted front wheels in 2024. Ensure the current tyres have plenty of tread and that there is no abnormal wear that could suggest a lasting alignment issue from the previous wheel distortion.
Check all external lighting, including the central stop lamp and registration plate lamps, as these have been points of failure or advisories in 2023 and 2026. Finally, check the service records to see if the distorted wheels mentioned in 2024 were ever replaced or repaired.
This silver 2017 Mercedes-Benz Citan has recorded 34,587 miles, which is significantly lower than typical for this model. The MOT history indicates a pattern of minor failures and advisories, primarily concerning exterior lighting and tyre wear, including a failure in June 2026. A notable entry from 2024 mentions distorted road wheels on both the nearside and offside front.
