2018 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · MP15 MLP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 26 August 2026, though the appearance of an oil leak and a minor lighting fault indicates a slight decline in the maintenance trend compared to the clean result of the previous year. While the vehicle has a consistent history of passing its annual inspections, the transition from purely wear-and-tear advisories to a fluid leak suggests that the engine and seals are beginning to show their age. With a recorded mileage of 92,132 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged around 11,500 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a light commercial vehicle of this era, suggesting it has been used regularly without prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty accumulation. At this mileage, the drivetrain and chassis are entering a phase where major consumables and suspension components typically require thorough review to ensure continued roadworthiness. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recently noted oil leak. A physical inspection of the engine bay and the underside of the chassis is essential to determine the source of the leak and whether it is a minor seepage or a more significant failure of a gasket or seal. During a test drive, monitor the oil pressure warning lights and listen for any unusual engine noises. Given the history of front brake pads and discs being flagged as thin, pitted, or scored in multiple years, it is imperative to verify if these components have been replaced recently or if they remain near the end of their service life, which could manifest as brake shudder or reduced stopping efficiency. Further attention must be given to the front tyres, which have a recurring history of edge wear and perishing. Check the current tread depth and inspect the sidewalls for cracking, as uneven wear often points to underlying issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Ensure the windscreen wipers are operating effectively across the entire glass surface, following a previous failure in 2023. Finally, check the service history to confirm that calendar-based maintenance, such as timing belt or water pump replacements, has been carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's intervals for this mileage.
