2019 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · LS69 UMH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean result in its most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted on 19 December 2024 at 28,030 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in December 2023, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the previous owner addressed the identified faults promptly to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between the December 2022 test at 20,752 miles and the December 2023 test at 24,376 miles, the van covered only 3,624 miles. This low-frequency usage typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake discs, which is not always reflected in a lowmileage figure alone. A buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure recorded in December 2023, as the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical fault. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perish, which can occur over time even on low-mileage cars. Additionally check the brake calipers for seizing or rust due to infrequent use, and inspect the structural integrity of the chassis mounting points to ensure the low usage has not masked underlying environmental corrosion.
