2016 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · PF16 EPP

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 16,213 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following the resolution of previous testing issues. While the history shows two failures in recent years, both were rectified immediately in subsequent re-tests, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing compliance issues once they are identified by the tester rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,621 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 1,912 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw another 1,657 miles. This low usage frequency typically limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to lack of thermal cycling and mechanical movement. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on components most affected by long-term standing. The recorded failures in September 2023 and September 2024 occurred just one or eight miles before a pass, likely indicating minor itemized faults such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor emulsion adjustments rather than systemic structural failure. Given the low mileage, the brakes should be checked for flat spots or seized calipers, and the brake discs should be inspected for pitting or heavy rust on the contact surface. Additionally, suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking, as age-related material fatigue often occurs independently of low odometer readings.
