2016 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · MJ66 RYB

This Citroen Dispatch presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 9 December 2024 at 156,905 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the odometer climbed from 127,912 to 156,905 miles. This represents nearly 30,000 miles covered in a single year, indicating a period of intensive commercial use. Earlier records show a more moderate pace, with only 1,724 miles added between December 2022 and December 2023. Despite the absence of MOT failures, the high mileage and intensive recent use necessitate a thorough physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these typically degrade under heavy loads and high mileage. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, and the chassis should be inspected for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to salt spray and moisture. The drivetrain and exhaust system also require scrutiny given the total mileage of 156,905. While the MOT record is clean, these tests only provide a snapshot of safety rather than a full mechanical health check. Verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential to ensure the engine has been supported through its high-mileage lifecycle.
