2008 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LE57 EKL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of worsening structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed the January January 2026 test at 139,630 miles, it failed that same inspection due to multiple lighting faults and severely deteriorated CV boots. The presence of corrosion on the nearside rear inner vehicle structure, while not yet affecting structural rigidity, indicates that the chassis is entering a phase where rust-related issues require close monitoring to prevent failure. At 139,630 miles over 18 years, the Citroen averages approximately 7,750 miles per year, which is consistent with light-duty commercial vehicles of this age. The record shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 1,100 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and approximately 1,700 miles between early 2024 and early 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the nearside rear inner structure to determine the depth of the corrosion noted in the latest advisory. The recurring failure of the nearside front drive shaft CV boots across the 2025 and 2026 records suggests a persistent issue with component wear that could lead to joint failure. Furthermore, the previous reports of binding offside rear brakes and misting shock absorbers on the nearside from 2022 indicate that the suspension and braking systems are showing significant signs of age-related wear.
