2019 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LE19 FLR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 24 April 2026 at 30,730 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent period of reactive repair after a significant failure occurred just two weeks prior to that pass. While the 2023 and 2024 tests were clean of defects, the April 2026 failure indicates that specific mechanical components reached a point of failure simultaneously rather than proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. There is a distinct gap in usage between May 2023 and August 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 816 miles in over sixteen months. This low-frequency use suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, but long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and surface corrosion on the braking system. A physical inspection must focus on the nearside front shock absorber which exhibited a serious fluid leak as noted in the 10 April 2026 test. The buyer should also verify that the nearside outer seat belt now locks and retracts correctly, as the previous failure indicated a critical safety defect. Given the headlamp aim issues flagged in the same failure, ensure the light brackets and adjustment mechanisms are properly aligned and secure to prevent glare for other drivers.
