CITROEN RELAY2015 · 2.2L Diesel

The Citroen Relay presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 20 November 2024 at 117,401 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2023 at 117,315 miles and May 2021 at 94,278 miles also passed without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the available record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for an eleven-year-old van, averaging roughly 10,673 miles per year against the 117,401 miles recorded. The data shows a marked slowdown in use after mid-2022: the vehicle covered only about 17,884 miles between the May 2021 test and the July 2022 test, then just 86 miles between the June 2022 failure and the July 2022 pass, and a mere 86 miles further to the June 2023 test. Such a flatline suggests extended standing or very light local operation in the 2022 to 2024 period, with the sparse clean record offering little evidence of neglected consumables. The only blemish is a failure on 30 June 2022 at 99,420 miles, reversed five days later at 99,431 miles with no defects listed on either entry. This pattern typically points to an administrative or minor presentation issue rather than a hard mechanical fault, though the rapid re-test implies the owner addressed a trivial non-compliance swiftly. No recurring suspension, brake, corrosion, or emissions faults appear across the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's age and the low recent mileage that can mask perished rubber suspension bushes or seized brake calipers from prolonged inactivity. Verify the actual condition of tyres, brake discs, and exhaust emissions in person, as the clean MOT entries do not exempt an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle from age-related wear unseen by the tester.
