2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · CC09 JAM

A history of intermittent failures involving lighting and structural suspension components defines this vehicle's record, though it achieved a clean pass on 25 November 2025. The 2024 testing period was particularly problematic, requiring the replacement of a fractured offside rear leaf spring and the correction of multiple headlamp faults. While the most recent outcome shows no defects, the recurring nature of suspension and lighting issues suggests a pattern of wear that requires close attention. With 67,770 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,471 miles per annum. This usage pattern is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age, meaning that wear on the drivetrain and chassis is likely consistent with standard operational expectations. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in usage. Specific attention should be paid to the offside front suspension, as a worn arm pin or bush was flagged as an advisory in December 2024. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed steering manoeuvres. Additionally, given the previous failure of a rear leaf spring and deteriorated bump stops, the rear suspension should be inspected for any remaining asymmetry or signs of sagging under load. The brake system has a persistent history of thin pads across both the front and rear axles, appearing as advisories in 2021, 2022, and 2024. A prospective buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and listen for high-pitched squealing or feel for any vibration through the brake pedal during deceleration. Ensure the driver's seat adjustment mechanism operates smoothly and locks securely, following the major failure recorded in November 2025.
