2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LG67 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 11 September 2025 at 204,370 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of passing tests, though the pattern of immediate failures followed by passes is notable. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test only days or miles prior to a successful re-test. This suggests that the previous owner addressed specific defects only when prompted by an official MOT de-certification, rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging over 22,000 miles per annum. Between August 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 19,430 miles, while it added another 17,962 miles in the single year between September 2024 and September 2025. This consistent heavy-usage pattern places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The rapid accumulation of mileage indicates the vehicle was likely used for long-distance commercial work, which accelerates the wear on consumable items like tyres and rubber bushings. Given the high mileage and the history of recent failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and underbody. High-mileage vans often suffer from corrosion on chassis members and mounting points, which can compromise the overall safety of the vehicle. The suspension should be checked for excessive play in control arms and worn shocks, as these components frequently reach their service limit beyond 200,000 miles. A close look at the braking system, specifically checking for binding rear calipers or thin discs, is also essential to ensure the recent MOT passes have not masked underlying mechanical fatigue.
