2019 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LC19 VCP

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by a significant decline in mechanical upkeep during the 2025 testing period. While the most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 140,832 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle carries a persistent oil leak that has been noted in every test since January 2025. The transition from a clean pass in January 2024 to multiple consecutive failures in early 2025 indicates a period where essential component replacement was deferred. The vehicle has covered 140,832 miles in approximately seven years, averaging roughly 20,000 miles per year. This high annual mileage is consistent with commercial use for a Citroen Relay. The data shows a significant jump of 24,575 miles between April 2022 and February 2023, followed by steady accumulation. The recent 5,200-mile interval between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests suggests the vehicle remains in active, heavy service. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The 2025 records show a pattern of neglected brake maintenance, specifically regarding 80% worn front pads, pitted rear discs, and parking brake efficiency failures. Although these were addressed to secure the February 2025 pass, the recurring nature of these faults suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance culture. The tester also flagged worn nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes in early 2025, which requires verification to ensure the issue was fully resolved and not merely monitored. The ongoing oil leak noted in the February 2026 test warrants a thorough underbody inspection to determine its source and severity. While the tester classified it as not excessive, the persistence of this leak over multiple years suggests a slow-developing issue that could lead to more significant engine or seal failures. Given the high mileage and the history of deferred repairs, checking the condition of the drivetrain and checking for signs of structural corrosion should be standard procedure.
