2021 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · CF70 KVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 30,642 miles passed, the tester flagged both front brake discs as worn and pitted alongside thin pads. This follows a pattern established in the January 2025 test at 25,486 miles where similar issues were noted, indicating that the owner consistently waits until components approach failure limits before performing maintenance. At 30,642 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-duty usage for a commercial van. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 5,600 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,100 miles between 2025 and 2026. This low mileage generally suggests the drivetrain and engine have low stress, though the recurring brake issues suggest mechanical neglect despite low mileage. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front braking system, as the repeated pitting on the discs indicates they require immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping. The 2025 advisory also highlighted rear tyres worn on the inner edges, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not yet been addressed. Furthermore, the persistence of a nail in the offside rear tyre appearing in both 2024 and 2026 suggests a lack of proactive attention to basic vehicle checks.
