2019 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · MF19 SCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to reactive repairs. While the Relay passed its November 2025 test at 93,409 miles, the tester flagged advisories for a noisy offside front wheel bearing and both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This indicates that after a period of clean inspections in 2024 and 2025, wear-related components are now requiring immediate attention. The mileage pattern reflects consistent commercial use, averaging approximately 13,300 miles per year over the seven years. Between January 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 26,923 miles, showing a high rate of operation. The failure in November 2023 at 79,896 miles highlighted a period of significant mechanical neglect, involving a split CV boot, a binding nearside rear brake, and multiple lighting failures. The fact that these were rectified to achieve two subsequent clean passes suggests the owner addresses faults only upon inspection failure rather than following a preventative schedule. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and drivetrain components thoroughly. The uneven tyre wear noted in late 2025, combined with the noisy wheel bearing advisory, suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The previous failure of the nearside rear service brake necessitates a physical check of the caliper piston and slide pins to ensure the binding issue has not returned or caused excessive heat. Given the high mileage and the history of CV boot failure, verifying the integrity of all rubber boots for tearing or grease leakage is essential to avoid costly drivetrain failure.
