2013 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · LP62 AEM

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 at 76,049 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2024-05-29 (72,463 miles) and 2023-06-05 (68,193 miles) also showed no issues, confirming consistent compliance. A duplicate entry for 2023-06-05 notes a failed test, yet no defects are listed, suggesting a potential administrative error. Assuming the valid passes, the car has maintained acceptable standards without critical failures. The recorded mileage of 76,049 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 5,850 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate corrosion or component degradation if not regularly driven. The MOT intervals align with annual testing, and the steady mileage progression from 63,765 miles (2022-05-23) to 76,049 miles (2025-05-28) shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. However, the lack of high-mileage wear markers, such as brake disc thinning or suspension bush wear, remains unverified by the record. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis for rust, particularly in hidden areas like sills or underbody panels, given the low mileage and potential storage. Check suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for signs of fatigue or uneven wear. Verify brake system integrity, as low usage can lead to seized calipers or glazed discs. Confirm the exhaust system’s condition, as emissions compliance in the 2023 test may have been affected by minor leaks or sensor faults. The MOT history lacks structural or safety-critical defects, but the vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests cautious ownership with no overt mechanical risks.
