2015 Citroen Relay 35 Heavy L3 HDI 2.2L Diesel · XJZ 9097

The Citroen Relay presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 February 2025 at 62,299 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history shows two earlier failures on 3 February 2025 and 17 January 2020 where the tester logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults. No recurring advisories or worsening mechanical conditions appear across the available record. The mileage pattern is irregular for an eleven-year-old van. The November 2018 test at 65,588 miles sits above the 2020 figure of 45,348 miles, confirming the odometer was wound back or a clerical error occurred between those dates. From January 2020 to February 2025 the van covered only 16,951 miles in five years, averaging roughly 3,390 miles annually, well below typical light-commercial use. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which risks perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on dormant brake components despite the clean test sheet. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs and calipers for rust binding after the long idle stretches implied by the mileage gaps. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from moisture exposure during storage. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for structural corrosion, as the record shows no advisories but low-use vans often hide rot beneath sills and chassis rails. Verify the odometer discrepancy against service books before purchase.
