2020 Citroen Spacetourer 2.0L Diesel · SY20 FVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 199,938 miles. The maintenance trend is inconsistent. While the latest test was clean, the vehicle failed just two days prior on 29 May 2026 due to a faulty offside passenger sliding door mechanism. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where faults are only addressed when they trigger a formal failure. The mileage is exceptionally high for a six year old vehicle, averaging over 33,000 miles per year. The accumulation has accelerated significantly in the last two years. Between September 2023 and June 2026, the odometer climbed from 89,958 to 199,938 miles. This rapid usage increases the likelihood of premature wear on the drivetrain and chassis components compared to a typical private vehicle. A pattern of neglecting consumables is evident in the records. In September 2023, the tester flagged three worn tyres and thin nearside rear brake pads. By June 2025, the vehicle failed on three tyres and a rough offside front wheel bearing at 156,976 miles. These recurring tyre issues, combined with a failure to address them before the test date, indicate a lack of proactive upkeep. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine for the oil leak flagged in July 2024 at 115,009 miles to see if it has worsened. Given the extreme mileage and the previous wheel bearing failure, a thorough check of all suspension bushes and hub bearings is necessary. The sliding door mechanism should also be tested for smooth operation to ensure the May 2026 repair was comprehensive rather than a temporary fix.
