2017 Mercedes-Benz Citan 1.5L Diesel · YH67 PJV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean pass on 10 November 2025 at 60,614 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a positive trend following a significant failure in November 2024. While the 2024 test highlighted multiple lapses across the braking and lighting systems, the most recent inspection indicates that the owner has addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back to a passing standard without advisories. At approximately 60,600 miles over nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,700 miles per year. This is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with a gap of about 4,200 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,600 miles between late 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and mechanical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a recurring pattern of worn and pitted discs. Between 2022 and 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged front and rear brake components along with thin rear pads. While these were corrected prior to the 2025 pass, the history of pitting and scoring suggests the vehicle may sit for or be driven in environments where surface rust develops quickly. The 2024 failure also noted a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, so a check of the current suspension alignment is necessary to ensure no camber issues persist. The history also indicates minor electrical and trim issues, such as faulty window switches and inoperative registration lamps noted in 2024. Although these are non-critical items, the buyer should verify the operation of all external lighting and the wiper assembly. There are no recorded instances of structural corrosion or significant failures in the provided data, suggesting the chassis integrity of the Mercedes remains sound despite the frequent attention to consumable-related faults.
