2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3H3 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LC70 MWU

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in January 2024. The maintenance trend shows an immediate improvement after a critical failure that occurred just two days prior to the passing result. While the January 2024 failure at 71,180 miles identified a significant parking brake deficiency and a binding nearside front service brake, these issues were rectified to achieve a clean pass with no recorded defects. At a recorded mileage of 71,182 miles, the van has averaged approximately 11,864 miles per year over its six years. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to excessive heavy loading or long periods of inactivity. Because the most recent test was in early 2024, the vehicle is now over 17 months past its annual requirement, meaning a fresh inspection is required to verify the current state of mechanical and safety components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front braking assembly to ensure the binding issue noted in 2024 has been permanently resolved and is not recurring. Check for uneven wear on the brake discs and signs of heat damage on the caliper housing. Given the previous failure regarding parking brake efficiency, it is essential to test the handbrake tension on a gradient to ensure the cables are properly adjusted and free from seized mechanisms.
