2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · FJ17 SEO

The Citroen Relay presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 9 April 2025 at 132,668 miles which recorded no defects. The preceding three annual tests, dated 2 April 2024 at 128,639 miles, 11 April 2023 at 123,376 miles, and 11 April 2022 at 114,826 miles, each returned a pass with no advisories. Across four consecutive years the vehicle has shown no mechanical or structural faults, indicating consistent upkeep by previous operators. The recorded mileage of 132,668 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 14,741 miles per year since first registration in 2017, a high annual figure for a light commercial van of this age. Accumulation has been steady rather than sporadic, with yearly increments of 8,550, 5,263, and 4,737 miles across the recorded period. No gaps appear between tests and the clean pass history suggests the high mileage was accrued through regular use rather than neglect or prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT record. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding brake pipes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, but nine years of service at over 130,000 miles places expected strain on drivetrain seals, clutch wear, and steering joints not always visible during a standard test. Prior to purchase, examine the subframe and sills for structural corrosion, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and verify tyre sidewall condition. The clean history implies previous owners addressed issues before each test, yet high-mileage Relays commonly develop play in track rod ends and degraded exhaust mounts that warrant hands-on verification.
