2016 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · YW16 HVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 14 May 2026 at 103,160 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the history reveals a recurring issue with the parking brake system. The vehicle failed just two weeks prior at 103,061 miles due to parking brake efficiency falling below the legal threshold, indicating that a specific mechanical fault was rectified immediately before the subsequent successful test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 12,024 miles recorded between the December 2024 and May 2026 tests, suggesting a period of high-intensity use. Conversely, the 8,562 miles driven between November 2023 and December 2024 show a more moderate burst of activity. This consistent usage generally helps prevent components from seizing due to corrosion caused by long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the parking brake mechanism, as the repeated failures in November 2023 and 2026 suggest potential issues with seized calipers, worn rear shoes, or inadequate adjustment cables. Given the age and mileage of this Relay, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and suspension bushing wear is essential, although the recent records do not specifically flag these areas yet. The recent repair of the handbrake implies the owner responds to highlighted faults, but the recurring nature of the failure warrants a verification of the entire hydraulic braking system.
