2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · BX68 AEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 121,317 miles resulted in a pass, the advisories regarding both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven edge-wear indicate that the previous owner is delaying consumable replacements until they approach failure thresholds, rather than replacing them on a scheduled service interval. At 121,117 miles over eight years, this Citroen Relay averages approximately 15,000 miles per annum. This high mileage is consistent with a commercial vehicle but places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with nearly 13,000 miles covered between August 2022 and June 2025. The rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which typically accelerates the wear of components like bushes, bushings, and brake hardware that are not always captured during an MOT test. A buyer must physically inspect the front steering geometry, as the 2023 test flagged play in the nearside track rod end ball joint. Given the uneven tyre wear noted in 2025, a professional alignment check is essential to rule out premature damage to new tyres. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for thinning and check the calipers for binding, as high-mileage commercial vans often suffer from heavy braking loads that stress the braking system over time.
