2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · FJ17 RZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 134,239 miles identified multiple wear-related items, including thin front brake pads, a leaking nearside front shock absorber, and pitted rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of these advisories suggests that components are only addressed once they approach the point of legal failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. With a recorded mileage of 134,239 miles over nine years, this Relay averages approximately 15,000 miles annually. This figure is consistent with heavy commercial use and places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension. Between February 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle covered roughly 5,000 miles, showing consistent high-intensity operation. However, the gap between early 2023 and 2024 saw over 10,000 miles covered in a single year, which accelerated the degradation of the rubber components components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history shows recurring issues with brakes, ranging from fluctuating pedals in 2023 to thin pads and scored discs in 2026. The misting observed on the nearside front shock absorber is a sign of imminent seal failure and will require replacement to maintain handling stability. Furthermore, the previous 2023 failure regarding a deteriorated ball joint dust cover indicates that the rubber components in the suspension geometry are reaching the end of their life and should be checked for cracking or play across the entire front assembly.
