2015 Citroen Dispatch 2.0L Diesel · SB15 FJD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in mechanical standards. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 72,842 miles, the failure just one day prior reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance. The braking system is only marginally meeting the legal threshold, indicating that components are reaching the limit of their effectiveness. The presence of an insecure exhaust system and a fuel heater secured with bungee cords suggests that previous owners have opted for temporary fixes rather than professional mechanical repairs. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,842 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,600 miles, which is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle profile. However, the data shows a significant spike in activity between April 2024 (50,874 miles) and May 2025 (63,378 miles), where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. This increased usage likely correlates with the multiple failures recorded during that period, particularly regarding the accelerated wear on the braking and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking assembly and suspension. The 2025 failure for worn rear brake discs and thin pads, combined with low parking brake efficiency, suggests the hydraulic system may require a full overhaul beyond a basic adjustment. The rough offside front wheel bearing noted in 2025 should be re-checked to ensure it was replaced rather than ignored. Additionally, the uneven wear on the offside front tyre recorded in 2026 indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention to prevent premature tyre degradation.
