2016 Citroen Dispatch 1.6L Diesel · PT13 TOM

This Citroën Dispatch has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with no defects recorded in any of the five tests conducted between March 2023 and April 2026. The most recent inspection on 2 April 2026 at 95,910 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the near-consecutive pass and fail at 80,796 and 80,798 miles in February 2025—just 2 miles apart—suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a brief period of uncertainty in test scheduling rather than mechanical failure. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies the vehicle has been maintained at a level sufficient to avoid major wear items, though the lack of any warnings also means no prior issues were formally documented by testers. The recorded mileage of 95,910 miles over a decade aligns closely with typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle, averaging around 9,600 miles annually. There are no extended gaps in service or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, which would otherwise raise concerns about neglect or rapid component degradation. The most notable interval is between the February 2024 (67,924 miles) and March 2023 (56,442 miles) tests, where the vehicle accumulated 11,482 miles in just over a year—a higher rate than the overall average, but still within reasonable bounds for a well-used commercial vehicle. This suggests consistent use without prolonged periods of disuse, which could exacerbate issues like suspension corrosion or battery failure. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested but still critical to long-term reliability. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven wear or perishing, as these are often overlooked until failure occurs. Brake pads and discs, while not flagged in tests, warrant close inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components, though not historically problematic here, should be verified for leaks or excessive soot buildup, as these can indicate underlying engine or fuel system issues. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does suggest they have not yet reached a critical failure point.
