2022 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LC22 WMY

The vehicle presents a mixed roadworthiness profile characterized by recurring lighting defects and specific maintenance needs. A failure recorded on 2025-08-08 cited a defective offside side repeater lens and a non-functioning offside side repeater, alongside a flashing indicator exceeding the permitted frequency and low brake fluid levels. This failure was rectified within four days, resulting in a pass on 2025-08-12, though the advisory notes regarding slightly distorted road wheels and a non-excessive oil leak persist. This pattern indicates a vehicle that requires attention to detail regarding exterior lighting compliance and potential fluid leaks, rather than a completely clean mechanical record. The recorded mileage of 94,045 miles corresponds to an annual accumulation of approximately 23,511 miles over the vehicle's four-year lifespan. This usage rate is significantly higher than typical for a light commercial vehicle of this vintage, suggesting intensive operational use such as frequent long-distance driving or daily commercial duties. Such a high annual mileage accelerates the wear on consumables, including brake pads, discs, and suspension components, while also contributing to the specific advisories noted regarding wheel condition and potential oil leaks. Prospective buyers must rigorously inspect the exterior lighting system, particularly the side repeaters, which have a documented history of lens defects and non-functioning units. Visually check the offside side repeater for any clouding, cracking, or damage that could affect light emission, and test the function of all indicators to ensure they flash at a consistent rate below 120 times per minute. Additionally, the advisories regarding slightly distorted road wheels suggest that the steering geometry or wheel bearings may be affected; during a test drive, listen for any abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel to the lock and observe for any steering pull or vibration that might indicate wheel run-out issues. Attention is required regarding the fluid levels and potential oil leaks. The advisory for a non-excessive oil leak necessitates a thorough inspection of the engine bay and underneath the vehicle for signs of fluid accumulation, which could indicate worn gaskets or seals. Regarding the brake system, the low fluid level noted in the failure record implies that the brake pads may have worn down significantly or that there is a minor hydraulic leak requiring immediate attention to ensure braking performance is not compromised.
