2026 Citroen Spacetourer Hols MAX Bhdi SS A 2.0L Diesel · SL26 AXK

The DVSA MOT record for this 2026 Citroën Spacetourer shows no entries, which is typical for a vehicle of this model year as the first statutory test is not required until the fourth anniversary of its initial registration. Consequently there is no recent test outcome to analyse and no defect trend can be established; the absence of data simply reflects that the car has not yet been subject to an MOT rather than indicating any maintenance issue. Mileage for the vehicle is not supplied, but given the car is a 2026 build and the current date is September 2026, it is reasonable to expect a very low kilometre count, generally in the low‑hundreds if it has only been used for road‑testing or limited private use. Should the odometer reveal a substantially higher figure – for example well over 5,000 mi – that would suggest intensive early usage and would warrant closer scrutiny of wear items such as clutch, gearbox oil, brake pads and tyre tread, as accelerated mileage in the first year can accelerate component fatigue. For a near‑new vehicle with no MOT history, the buyer should concentrate on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking, hardening or dry rot, and verify that the tread depth meets the legal minimum and is even across the wheelset, as tyres can deteriorate from age even with minimal use. Examine the 12 V battery terminals for corrosion and assess the state of charge; a battery that has sat unused for several months may have reduced capacity and could require a load test. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – are filled to the correct levels and appear clear; fluids can degrade over time, especially brake fluid, which should be replaced at least every two years regardless of mileage. Finally, confirm that the service book contains the initial dealer inspection and any subsequent scheduled maintenance, and ensure that the vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. During a test drive, listen for any clunk, knock or squeak from the suspension bushes, control arms and coil springs, which could indicate premature wear despite low mileage. Pay attention to steering feel; any looseness or vibration may point to alignment issues or worn steering rack components. Apply the brakes firmly and note any pulsation, judder or a spongy pedal, which would suggest disc surface contamination, uneven pad wear or the need for a brake fluid flush. Observe the exhaust for excessive smoke or unusual noises, and watch for any fluid leaks around the engine bay, under the chassis and at the rear, as even a lightly used car can develop seal failures that become apparent only after a short period of operation. These observations, combined with a visual inspection of the items listed above, will give a prospective buyer a clear picture of the vehicle’s roadworthiness and any imminent maintenance requirements.
