2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · FJ17 RZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by its most recent pass in July 2024 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from several minor mechanical advisories in previous years to a clean sheet on the latest test. While earlier inspections highlighted minor issues with lighting and brake adjustments, the lack of failures in the final assessment suggests that immediate mechanical concerns have been addressed or meet the minimum safety standard. The mileage profile is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,656 miles annually. There is a significant surge in usage between March 2020 and March 2021, where the van covered nearly 30,000 miles in a single year. This high-intensityion suggests consistent commercial or long-distance transit use, which typically places an accelerated load on the drivetrain, suspension components, and engine-related wear items compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows a recurring pattern of thin pads, worn discs, and a parking brake requiring adjustment. Given the high mileage, it is essential to check the condition of the suspension bushes and shocks, as these components often fatigue under heavy loads over long distances. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion, which, while not flagged in the recent history, remains a common area of concern for vans of this age and usage level.
