2015 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · CK15 XGD

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile due to a significant gap in recent testing history. While the vehicle passed its last recorded test in September 2022 at 380,537 miles, this followed an immediate failure on the same day. The tester flagged a parking brake below efficiency requirements and a failed offside rear indicator, alongside deteriorated registration plates. Although these specific issues were rectified for the pass, the lack of any MOT records for the subsequent three years suggests the vehicle has either operated off-road or bypassed mandatory safety inspections. The mileage accumulation is extreme, averaging over 34,000 miles per year across its eleven-year life. This high-intensity usage pattern indicates heavy-duty commercial application. Between September 2019 and September 2022, the vehicle covered 83,409 miles in just three years. This rapid rate of travel places immense strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems. The 2020 test noted a misting nearside front shock absorber at 331,965 miles, indicating that the suspension was already showing signs of fatigue under such heavy loads. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. Given the previous parking brake failure and the high mileage, the mechanical brake cables, drums, and discs should be checked for excessive wear or seizing. The 380,000-mile mark makes the likelihood of worn bushings and fatigued coil springs very high. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points must be scrutinized for corrosion, as high-mileage vans often suffer from stress stress that accelerates rust over years of heavy use.
