2008 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · TD08 BOO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance trend indicates a period of mechanical instability and reactive repairing. While the most recent test in September 2025 resulted in a pass, it followed three consecutive failures within a short timeframe. The vehicle required significant immediate attention to the braking system, parking brake, and structural components to regain roadworthiness, suggesting that major faults were only addressed once they reached a critical point of failure rather than throughRoutine preventative maintenance. At 126,698 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year over its 18-year lifespan, which is consistent with light commercial use. However, the data shows a notable cluster of activity between July 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered over 6,000 miles while undergoing multiple inspections. This rapid mileage accumulation in a short window suggests heavy short-term use in recent years, which correlates with the multiple failures of suspension components and braking hardware noted during this period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle structure, specifically focusing on the offside inner and outer sills. The records consistently ( corrosion that has significantly reduced structural strength in the suspension mounting areas, and although the latest test notes the rigidity is not yet significantly reduced, the progression of rust remains a high-risk factor. Furthermore, the braking system requires close scrutiny; the history shows recurring issues with binding brakes, low parking brake efficiency, and pitting on the front discs, which indicates potential neglected hydraulic components or seized calipers.
