2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · H12 JBE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 March 2026 with no defects recorded, indicating a current state of roadworthiness. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable, with the most recent two tests being entirely clean. While there were recurring minor issues regarding windscreen damage and a significant parking brake failure in 2021, these appear to have been addressed, and the lack of recent advisories suggests the vehicle is being kept in a satisfactory condition. With a recorded mileage of 132,419 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 13,242 miles per year. This represents a high usage profile, which is common for a commercial vehicle of this type but necessitates a closer inspection of high-wear components. At this mileage, the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension systems have undergone significant stress, increasing the likelihood of wear in the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system. Although the most recent tests are clean, the February 2025 record noted that both front brake pads were wearing thin. You should verify that these were replaced and check for any brake shudder or uneven pedal feel during a test drive. Furthermore, given the previous failure regarding parking brake efficiency, ensure the handbrake holds firmly on an incline and that the cable is not excessively stretched or seized. Given the high mileage and age, a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion is essential, particularly around the sills and load area. Listen for suspension clunks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushes or dampers. It is also critical to verify the service history for the timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are calendar and mileage critical components. Finally, inspect all tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as an earlier advisory noted tyre degradation, which can recur if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity or poor storage.
