2017 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · PY17 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 100,774 miles. While the vehicle failed that specific test due to the offside headlamp aim being too low, it passed immediately upon rectification with no other defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 90,444 miles, suggesting that the recent maintenance interventions have successfully addressed previous mechanical concerns. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical commercial usage pattern for a nine-year-old van. The vehicle has covered 100,774 miles, averaging approximately 11,197 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 44,367 miles in March 2020 to 100,774 miles in November 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy-duty surges that might accelerate component fatigue. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the suspension and braking systems due to recurring issues in the historical data. The October 2024 failure highlighted excessively worn pins or bushes on both front suspension arms, and the August 2022 test flagged a worn bush on the nearside rear upper shock absorber. These faults indicate that the suspension components are subject to significant wear. The tester also identified parking brake efficiency issues and pitted rear brake discs in August 2022, so verifying the current state of the braking hardware and the integrity of all suspension bushings is necessary. The history also shows minor, intermittent issues with lighting and consumables, such as the headlamp aim and windscreen wipers. While the 2025 headlamp failure was a simple adjustment, the pattern of various bulb and lens defects suggests a need to check the overall electrical integrity of the lighting clusters. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the CV boots and heat shields, which were noted as loose in 2022, will ensure no further degradation has occurred.
