For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 69.9% from 315,381 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 33. The current pool shows an average of 122,322 miles and an average age of 11.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 137,224 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by electric, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, lighting and driveshaft boots. The practical read is that the Citroen Dispatch deserves a careful inspection before buying, because condition and maintenance appear to matter more than the badge.
