2019 Citroen Dispatch 1000 En-Prise Bhdi Ss — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 3,083 MOT tests, the 2019 Citroen Dispatch 1000 En-Prise Bhdi Ss recorded an 85.8% pass rate. All cars of a similar age fail 10.1% of the time, so this is 4.1pp worse than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, visibility and tyres.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (9.6%) and visibility (6.7%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, brake pads and tread depth — wipers alone was recorded 212 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 10.8% in the 0-30k band and 16.2% in the 150k+ band, a 5.4-point spread.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: brakes was flagged on 20.8% of tests without failing them.
