2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · BJ67 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT history. The March 2026 test at 89,405 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, following two consecutive years of defect-free testing in 2025 and 2024. While the vehicle has experienced intermittent failures in the past, the current trend shows a consistent ability to meet minimum standards without recurring advisories or immediate mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical commercial usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows an average annual usage of approximately 9,934 miles, which is relatively low for a Citroen Relay. Between the October 2020 test at 32,267 miles and the March 2022 test at 47,659 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles over 17 months. The most recent interval between March 2025 and March 2026 shows an increase of nearly 10,000 miles, suggesting the vehicle is currently in regular, predictable use. Historical data indicates specific areas of wear that require physical inspection. The March 2024 failure for an excessively binding offside front service brake suggests previous issues with caliper performance or piston seizure. A more significant failure in March 2022 highlighted worn suspension arm ball joints on both the nearside and offside fronts, alongside tyre and wiper issues. Although these components were rectified to achieve subsequent passes, a buyer should inspect the front suspension for play and check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or signs of overheating. Given the history of tyre and brake pad wear flagged in 2020 and 2022, the current condition of all consumables should be verified. While the recent tests are clean, the previous failures suggest that maintenance has occasionally lagged behind component wear. A physical check of the tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness, and the integrity of the suspension bushings and ball joints remains a necessary precaution to ensure the vehicle's current mechanical state matches the recent passing certificates.
