2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LJ14 FYC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2023 at 180,852 miles resulted in an initial failure due to multiple electrical defects, including registration plate lamps, stop lamps, and marker lights. While the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification, the frequency of these lighting failures suggests that basic bulb checks are only performed when prompted by the MOT test itself. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a heavy-duty commercial usage profile, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. Between February 2021 (113,992 miles) and February 2022 (155,107 miles), the vehicle covered over 41,000 miles in a single year. This high rate of travel places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. There are no significant gaps in the records, suggesting the vehicle has remained in constant operation rather than sitting idle. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the vehicle failed in February 2022 at 155,106 miles due to parking brake efficiency falling below requirements. Given the high mileage, the condition of the brake shoes, drums, and handbrake mechanism should be closely scrutinized for excessive wear or adjustment. Additionally, the recurring electrical issues in the most recent test necessitate a thorough check of the wiring loom and bulb sockets to ensure no deeper corrosion or perished wiring are present in the rear lightage clusters.
