Mercedes Citan Specialist
Citan Brakes
W415 • W420 • Front & Rear Packages
The Mercedes Citan is built on the Renault Kangoo platform, which means brake parts are shared with the Renault range and are generally cheaper than Sprinter or Vito equivalents. Common fault patterns include early pad wear on the inner surface due to slider pin corrosion, and rear disc surface corrosion on vans used for short urban runs. Both the W415 and W420 are covered across Kent and South East London, with parts pre-ordered for your specific model before we arrive and a written report confirming all work completed.
Small van, big workload
Your Citan's brakes work harder than you think. Tight deliveries, stop-start traffic, fully loaded - when they start making noise or the light comes on, get them sorted fast.
Genuine Mercedes parts, proper fitment, no workshop trip - real Citan work, not generic stock photos. The Citan is one of the most affordable Mercedes vans to maintain - our fixed-price packages keep it that way.
We measure, not guess
Every Citan brake job starts with a proper measurement. We check disc thickness with vernier calipers against Mercedes minimum specs - not just a visual glance.
If your discs are fine, we'll say so. If they need replacing, you'll see the numbers. No upselling.
- Disc thickness measured against Mercedes spec
- Pad wear assessed on all corners
- Caliper slider pins checked and lubricated
- Brake fluid level inspected
