2021 Mercedes-Benz Citan 109 Pure CDI 1.5L Diesel · LS21 TPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 1 June 2026 at 97,837 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement after a significant failure in the previous year. While the 2025 test revealed critical issues with the braking system and steering components, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed these specific mechanical faults prior to the most recent inspection. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per annum. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 30,045 miles, followed by an additional 19,041 miles in the final year leading up to the latest test. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used as a dedicated long-distance commercial tool, which typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and brake wear components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering system to ensure the play identified in the steering rack inner joints in June 2025 has been properly rectified. Given the high mileage, the inspection should also check for excessive wear on the suspension control arms and signs of leaking shock absorbers. Because the rear brake pads were at the legal limit in June 2025, the current state of the remaining pads and discs should be measured to confirm they are not already nearing the end of their service life.
