2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LB66 YMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in July 2025 at 107,863 miles resulted in an advisory for an offside front steering linkage ball joint with slight play. While the vehicle passed, this indicates the beginning of component degradation in the steering and suspension assembly, following a period of no recorded defects in the previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded mileage between March 2020 and February 2021, where the vehicle covered only 260 miles in over a year. Since that period, usage has ramped up, with over 12,000 miles logged between the August 2023 and 2024 tests. This recent surge in mileage likely explains the appearance of wear on consumables and mechanical joints noted in the latest entries. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to determine if the play in the steering ball joint has progressed beyond the advisory stage. The 2024 test also flagged thin nearside front brake pads, so the remaining life of all pads and discs must be measured to ensure they are not nearing replacement. Given the vehicle's age and usage, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of rubber bushings is essential, as these are common failure points for this model at this mileage bracket.
