2020 Citroen Dispatch 1400 Driver Bhdi S/S 2.0L Diesel · NV70 BYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest MOT in December 2025 at 52,466 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior. That failure highlighted critical safety defects, including rear brake pads and discs worn beyond legal limits alongside poor parking brake efficiency. Although these issues were addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the trend suggests components are only replaced once they reach the point of failure rather than following a service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The vehicle covered 12,633 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 9,936 miles in the following fourteen months leading to the December 2025 tests. This indicates regular use typical for a commercial vehicle. However, the accumulation of mileage has coincided with visible wear on consumables and hardware, suggesting the vehicle may have carried heavy loads which accelerate the degradation of the braking system and suspension components. A buyer must inspect the gearbox specifically to determine if the oil leak noted in October 2024 has been rectified or if it remains active. The recurring mentions of worn or pitted front brake discs across the 2024 and 2025 tests warrant a close look at the calipers for sticking or uneven wear patterns. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in late 2024 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that would require a physical inspection to prevent premature tyre replacement.
