2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · AY16 UEL

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following a period of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection on 23 June 2025 at 134,493 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the owner successfully addressed any previous issues. This clean result follows a similarly clean pass in June 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and safety systems are currently operating within acceptable regulatory parameters despite the high-mileage nature of this commercial vehicle. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity use, averaging approximately 13,450 miles per year over the decade-long lifespan. Between October 2022 at 104,453 miles and June 2025 at 134,493 miles, the vehicle covered 30,000 miles in just under three years. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on heavy-duty components such as the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. The failure on 26 June 2024 at 119,212 miles, followed by a pass just one day later, indicates a minor component-related failure that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. A prospective buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity and undercarriage, as high-mileage vans often suffer from accelerated corrosion on the chassis. Given the age and usage, checking for signs of wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential. While the recent MOT record is clean, the high annual mileage suggests that brake discs and pads may be nearing the end of their functional service life. Verification of fluid levels and leaks is necessary to ensure the high mileage has not stressed the engine seals.
