2007 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · FL57 TWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2024 at 144,623 miles passed, yet introduced structural and mechanical concerns that were not present in previous years. While the vehicle passed, the presence of corrosion on the offside front integral body structure and a recurring exhaust flex leak suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being serviced in advance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the 2019 test at 139,209 miles and the 2023 test at 144,574 miles, during which the vehicle covered only 5,365 miles over four years. This low annual usage in the later years suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods of time, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake systems despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the offside front area to determine if the corrosion noted in the 2024 test is progressing toward a structural failure. The record shows consistently pitted and scored brake discs across all four wheels since 2023 and 2024, indicating the braking system is nearing the end of its life. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for parking brake efficiency under 50 percent suggests the handbrake mechanism requires a professional adjustment or overhaul. The exhaust flexi section should also be inspected, as it has been flagged as a deteriorating fault across two consecutive tests without being fully resolved.
