2020 Citroen Relay 35 HVY L4H3 ENT Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · CK70 NTL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 19 December 2023, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The test failure at 102,998 miles revealed multiple immediate safety concerns, including a failed offside headlamp and a critically worn brake pad on the nearside front. While the vehicle passed the re-test two miles later at 103,000 miles, the presence of multiple tyre issues and thin friction material suggests that components were being operated until they reached the threshold of legal failure. At 103,000 miles over six years, this Citroen Relay has covered a high average of approximately 17,000 miles per annum. This mileage profile is consistent with heavy commercial use, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking assembly. The narrow gap between the failure and the pass in December 2023 shows that necessary repairs were addressed immediately to meet legal standards, but the high mileage means that mechanical components are likely nearing the end of their standard service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. Given the nearside front brake pad was recorded at less than 1.5mm during the last test, the remaining life of the discs should be evaluated for scoring or heat damage. The advisories regarding edge wear on the nearside rear and offside front inner tyres indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which are common on high-mileage vans. Furthermore, the previous cut in the offside rear tyre necessitates a check of the current replacement to ensure no structural ply damage remains.
