2016 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · YB66 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-10 at 149,960 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-12-05, 2023-10-31, and 2022-11-18 also passed without issues, apart from a failed test on the same date as a pass in 2023, which recorded no defects. This suggests no critical mechanical failures in the last four years, though the failed test remains unexplained. The absence of advisories or failures in recent records implies consistent maintenance, though the high mileage raises concerns about long-term wear. The vehicle’s 149,960 miles over 10 years equates to 14,996 annual miles, significantly above average for its age. A notable jump from 124,993 miles in 2022 to 134,845 in 2023—nearly 10,000 miles in 12 months—suggests heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2024-2025 tests show a slower accumulation of 10,014 miles, but the overall pattern indicates sustained high-mileage operation, increasing the likelihood of hidden degradation in non-MOT-covered systems. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to such issues. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, though no such defects were recorded. Structural integrity is not flagged in the MOTs, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough check for rust or panel damage. No specific advisories from the MOT history necessitate immediate repairs, but the maintenance record lacks depth, requiring a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond official tests.
