2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · BX66 ATY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of reactive maintenance regarding braking components. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 21,052 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the previous brake-related failures have been addressed. While the history shows significant failures in 2023 and 2024, the clean result of the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently in a compliant state regarding safety-critical items. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. The vehicle covered only 10,650 miles between October 2019 and September 2025, a rate that suggests infrequent or stationary use. This low usage often correlates with less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it explains the recurring issues seen in the record. Pitted and scored brake discs alongside inoperative parking brakes are classic symptoms of a vehicle sitting for long periods, where moisture causes surface corrosion on metal surfaces that lack mechanical cleaning. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The record shows a persistent trend of front and rear brake disc corrosion and pitting, as seen in the 2023 and 2024 failures. Because the offside rear wheel bearing was flagged for excessive play in 2024, this should be checked for any residual noise or movement to ensure the replacement was effective. The parking brake also failed efficiency tests twice, so a thorough test is required to ensure the mechanism is not seized or out of adjustment. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish and crack over time regardless of distance driven. Verify that the ABS warning lamp, noted in 2023, remains unlit and that the parking brake operates firmly across all wheels. The maintenance history suggests an owner who only addressed faults when prompted by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative schedule, making a diligent check of fluid levels and general condition essential.
