2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · NK16 FUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection reveals a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the van failed its test in November 2025 at 22,185 miles due to a non-functional rear emergency exit door and multiple aged tyres, the subsequent pass just two miles later at 22,187 miles indicates these faults were rectified. Aside from this specific failure, the maintenance trend remains stable, with no mechanical defects recorded across the previous three years of testing history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 2,219 miles per annum. There is a significant gap between August 2022 (17,713 miles) and November 2023 (20,192 miles), during which the vehicle covered only 2,479 miles. This low usage pattern suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but such low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts such as seals and tyres, which age out over time regardless of remaining tread depth. A buyer must physically inspect the rear emergency exit door mechanism to ensure it operates freely without seizing, as this was a recent point of failure. The age of the tyres noted in the November 2025 record suggests the previous owner neglected basic components, so the current set should be checked for sidewall cracking and hardening. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake disc corrosion and perished perished in the calipers, as these are common issues for vehicles that sit for extended periods without regular use.
