2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · EU14 YEE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 145,220 miles passed with advisories for a damaged windscreen and an offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover. These specific issues were also flagged during the 2025 test at 137,646 miles, indicating that the owner has neglected to address these components for over a year. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over the vehicle's life. Between January 2024 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 16,442 miles, which aligns with its historical usage rate. While the 2022 records show a clean sheet, the 2024 inspection revealed a significant spike in wear and tear, including perished tyres and thin brake pads, suggesting that the high-mile environment is leading to accelerated degradation of rubber-based and friction-related components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the misting on the offside shock absorber noted in 2024 often precedes total seal failure. The recurring track rod end dust cover failure requires immediate attention to prevent grit ingress, which will eventually lead to joint play and steering geometry-related issues. Furthermore, the nearside outer sill damage recorded in 2024 should be scrutinized for hidden structural corrosion to ensure the integrity of the chassis has not been compromised by the impact or subsequent rust.
