LV66 TKC MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2016 Citroen Dispatch (LV66 TKC) between November 2023 and November 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 27 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 5 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Known faults for Citroën Citroën Dispatch (K0)
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
The primary concern is the oil leak, which has been flagged in both the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. You should identify the source of this leak and obtain a quote for repair before finalizing the purchase. Given the 120,446 mileage, verify the service history for evidence of a timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this 2.0L diesel engine.
The 1997cc diesel engine is designed for commercial efficiency, though fuel costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age, given the recurring oil leak and the frequency of brake pad replacements seen in the MOT records.
Between fuel, road tax, insurance, and the likelihood of ongoing repairs to address the noted leaks and wear items, the annual running costs are expected to be moderate for a vehicle of this size.
Perform a thorough inspection of the engine bay and the underside of the chassis to locate the oil leak mentioned in the 2024 and 2025 MOT records. Check the depth of the brake pads and the condition of all tyres, specifically looking for cuts or wear, as these caused the failure in November 2025.
Additionally, test all external lighting and the windscreen washer system. These components failed the MOT in both 2024 and 2025, indicating a tendency for small electrical and utility faults to develop.
This 2016 white Citroen Dispatch has covered 120,446 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures followed by immediate passes in both 2024 and 2025, with a persistent oil leak noted across the last two years of testing. The vehicle's record shows a transition from a clean pass in 2023 to more frequent issues with brakes and electrical components in subsequent years.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Citroen Dispatch; assessment is based solely on this vehicle's documented history.

- AdBlue System (Tank/Pump) FailureSerious
All BlueHDi Dispatches use AdBlue (SCR) aftertreatment, and the system is a known weak point: the pump is built into the tank with its electronics exposed to AdBlue vapour, so fluid ingress corrodes the PCB and pressure drops (P20E8), while the injector can block with urea crystals after short, cold urban runs (P20EE). Either fault triggers dashboard warnings and, if ignored, a no-start countdown that prevents restart. DVSA recall R/2025/346 covers SCR and on-board diagnostics performance on affected Dispatches, and whole tank-and-pump replacement is a common out-of-warranty repair. An intermittent warning that self-clears before becoming permanent is the classic early pattern.
- Front Suspension Wishbone and Lower Control Arm CorrosionModerate
The Dispatch is a working van, so its front suspension takes a constant hammering from payloads, potholes and salted UK roads. DVSA recalls R/2019/027 and R/2019/145 cover front wishbone lower ball joints that can slacken under load, R/2025/311 covers lower control-arm bushings whose bolts can corrode and snap, and an earlier recall addressed loose front shock-absorber bolts. Worn wishbones and bushes cause clunks over speed cushions, uneven tyre wear, vague steering and MOT failures, while seized or snapping bolts make repairs more expensive. Wear typically shows from 60,000 miles upwards on high-mileage working vans.
- DPF Blocking on 1.6 and 2.0 BlueHDi DieselsModerate
1.6 and 2.0 BlueHDi diesels dominate the used Dispatch market, and urban stop-start work stops the diesel particulate filter reaching regeneration temperatures, so soot builds up and the filter blocks. Warning signs are the anti-pollution or DPF light, the cooling fan running after shutdown, reduced power and limp mode; UK owner reports describe 2017-on 1.6 BlueHDi Dispatches repeatedly entering limp mode with DPF blocking at high mileage. Forced regeneration or filter cleaning costs several hundred pounds, and a neglected filter can stress the turbo. Ask about the van's typical duties, look for DPF cleaning invoices, and give it a sustained motorway run to see whether warnings clear.
