2021 Citroen Spacetourer

CarHunch analysed 246 real MOT records for the 2021 Citroen Spacetourer. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Citroën Spacetourer hits just above the UK average with an 81.9% first-time pass rate, suggesting broadly reliable fundamentals for a three-year-old MPV. However, 13% of vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is moderately concerning and worth investigating in any used example you're considering.

At 33,178 miles average, these Spacetourers are running well within typical mileage for their age, and the low failure rate of 0.61 per vehicle indicates most issues are minor. The 2.7 advisories per car suggest routine wear items need attention, so factor in servicing costs—but before buying, always request the full MOT history to check whether any dangerous defects were recorded on your specific candidate.

What to check before buying a 2021 Citroen Spacetourer

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
