2022 Citroen Spacetourer 2.0L Diesel · YC22 LDD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding the rear braking system. While the most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 27,375 miles passed, the tester flagged both rear brake discs as worn, pitted or scored. This follows a previous advisory from April 2025 at 23,383 miles which also noted thin rear brake pads and similarly scored discs. The persistence of these issues across two years suggests that the previous owner deferred replacing components rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,844 miles per year. Between the April 2025 and March 2026 tests, the car covered 3,992 miles, representing a relatively low rate of accumulation. However, the perishing tyres noted in the 2026 test suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, leading to rubber-rating degradation despite low mileage-based wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the discs and pads have since been replaced. The recurring pitting and scoring noted in the DVSA records indicate that the metal was allowed to corrode, which can lead to vibrations or poor performance. Additionally, the rear tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking or age as identified in the latest MOT, as these represent a structural safety risk regardless of the remaining tread depth.
