2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LD16 SDO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2024 at 60,325 miles showed a pass following a failure just two days prior. While the immediate safety failures regarding the mirror and indicators were rectified, the tester flagged thin brake pads and worn discs across all four wheels. This suggests the previous owner neglected routine consumable maintenance until components reached the point of failure, rather than replacing them during scheduled intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its ten year life. There is a significant gap in records between August 2022 at 52,380 miles and January 2024 at 60,325 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 8,000 miles in seventeen months. This relatively low annual mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary, which is not reflected in mileage figures alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the 2024 record confirms that all pads and discs were nearing the end of their functional life. Given the history of thin pads, a check for sticking calipers or uneven wear on the rotors is necessary. The previous failure due to a deteriorated registration plate and damaged mirrors indicates a history of minor external impacts or neglect that was only addressed upon inspection. Additionally, the nearside front rim damage noted in 2021 should be inspected for structural cracks or deep corrosion that could compromise the tyre bead over time.
