Citroën Dispatches licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2016 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
The Citroën Dispatch 90 6-S has its own page.
The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records
under that version’s name.
Versions of the Citroën Dispatch with their own page
We do not show MOT figures for the Citroën Dispatch. 97% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model name “Dispatch Combi”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Citroën Dispatch safety recalls
DVSA lists 69 safety recalls for the Citroën Dispatch since 1992, the first in 1998. The most recent was launched on 13 March 2026.
Water Pump Pulley
Launched 13 March 2026DVSA recall R/2026/110Manufacturer ref. GX8 – 261139EE
Defect
On affected vehicles due to a production nonconformity the water pump may malfunction which may cause a loss of engine power and result in the engine shutting down.
97% of the Citroën Dispatches on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every
body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Citroën Dispatch. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
