1999 CITROEN RELAY1.9L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly uncertain due to a complete lack of MOT data for over seventeen years. The last recorded test occurred in October 2009 at 169,705 miles, which was a pass despite advisories for wheel bearing play, pitted brake discs, and an oil leak. Because no tests have been performed since that date, there is no evidence to verify the current structural integrity or mechanical safety of the van. The maintenance trend ended abruptly, leaving a vehicle that showed recurring corrosion and suspension issues shortly before the record went silent. The mileage pattern indicates a total cessation of use. Between October 2007 and October 2009, the vehicle covered approximately 9,000 miles, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per year. However, the mileage remained frozen at 169,705 miles from late 2009 onwards. For a 27-year-old vehicle, this long period of standing is a significant concern as it typically leads to perished seals, seized brake calipers, and internal corrosion of the fluid lines, regardless of the relatively low cumulative mileage. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection focused on the subframe and suspension components. The 2008 failure highlighted excessive corrosion on the offside front subframe mounting and a holed radiator cross member, which are critical structural points that likely worsened over time. The history also noted deteriorated leaf spring shackle bushes and a leaking shock absorber. An inspector should check for perished rubber in all suspension joints and deep structural rust throughout the chassis. Given the vehicle has likely remained stationary for nearly two decades, the braking system and fuel lines require a thorough assessment for internal decay before any operation is considered.
