2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LA18 PWK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a period of inconsistent upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2024 at 50,939 miles passed, it carried advisories for a damaged windscreen and an offside front nail nail. This represents an improvement over the period in early 2023, where the vehicle failed multiple tests. The current trend suggests that while immediate faults are being addressed to pass the MOT, the previous failures indicate that mechanical issues were often managed reactatively rather than preventatively. The mileage data presents a significant discrepancy. The vehicle is recorded at 50,939 miles over eight years, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial Citroen Relay. However, the records from February 2023 show a mileage of 67,453 miles, which is over 16,000 miles higher than the October 2024 reading. This suggests either a clerical error in the DVSA database or a period where the odometer was not recorded correctly. The gap between the September 2021 test at 64,432 miles and the February 2023 failure at 67,453 miles shows normal usage, but the subsequent drop in recorded mileage requires physical verification. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the parking brake system, as it failed twice in January and February 2023 due to low efficiency. Given the history of thin rear brake pads in 2021, the current state of the drums or discs should be checked for uneven wear or seizing. The previous engine management indicator light failure in 2023 also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain after the light was reportedly cleared. Furthermore, the recurring windscreen damage across three years suggests the glass should be inspected for stress cracks or chips that could lead to structural failure.
