2022 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LC72 FVG

This Citroen Relay presents a mixed profile of low usage coupled with early signs of component degradation and minor electrical faults. While it achieved a pass on 2025-09-24, this followed an initial failure due to non-functional offside main beam and side repeater lighting. The presence of pitting on the front brake discs suggests the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary, allowing surface corrosion to develop despite the low odometer reading. An annual average of approximately 4,600 miles is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle of this age and specification. Such a usage pattern typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain but increases the risk of deterioration in components that rely on regular operation. The recorded mileage suggests the vehicle has not been used for heavy-duty hauling or long-distance transit, which generally preserves the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the front discs which were flagged as pitted and scored. During a test drive, feel for any steering wheel judder or pulsation through the brake pedal under moderate deceleration, as surface pitting can lead to uneven pad contact. The parking brake lever was also noted as defective; ensure the lever operates smoothly through its full range and holds the vehicle securely on an incline without slipping. The offside rear tyre was noted as being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. Inspect the tread depth across the full width of the tyre to determine if this is a result of uneven loading or a potential tracking alignment issue. Additionally, verify that the previously failed lighting circuits, including the offside main beam and side repeater, have been permanently rectified and are functioning without flicker.
