2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · SJZ 3024

The Citroen Relay presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 130,309 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 1 June 2024 at 130,176 miles confirms the vehicle has entered a period of fault-free operation. The DVSA record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating the tester raised no concerns over suspension, brakes, emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage data reveals an unusual usage pattern for a 2017 van. The vehicle covered only 1,075 miles between the April 2023 test at 123,182 miles and the June 2024 test at 130,176 miles, then just 133 miles to the March 2026 test at 130,309 miles. Earlier, it sat at 122,107 miles across both November 2020 tests. Average annual use works out near 14,479 miles, but the recent three years show the van has been almost dormant, with long standing periods that raise the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from disuse rather than wear from driving. The November 2020 record lists a fail and a pass on the same day at 122,107 miles, both with no defects recorded. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it immediately. No recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or exhaust issues appear in the timeline, so the history gives no evidence of worsening mechanical decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection given the low recent mileage. Standing time invites brake caliper binding, degraded fluid, and underbody corrosion not visible in a pass result. Verify the actual condition of tyres, wiper blades, and door hinges, and confirm the odometer reading matches the logged 130,309 miles before purchase.
