2022 Citroen Relay 35 L2H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · MJ72 CDF

High annual mileage combined with recent advisories regarding consumable wear defines the mechanical profile of this Citroen Relay. While the vehicle secured a pass on 25 August 2026, the inspection flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, following a previous advisory in September 2025 for thinning front brake pads. This progression suggests a pattern of wear consistent with heavy commercial use, where components are being utilised near their service limits before being addressed. The recorded mileage of 83,351 miles over approximately four years indicates an average annual accumulation of over 20,000 miles. This is a high rate of usage for a vehicle of this age, which typically correlates with increased mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. Such high-frequency operation means that while the vehicle has likely seen regular movement, the components are subject to more frequent thermal cycles and structural loading than a lower-mileage equivalent, potentially accelerating the wear of bushings, bearings, and various chassis components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the steering and front-end geometry during a test drive, specifically due to the advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge. This specific pattern of uneven tyre wear can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or issues with the steering rack and tie rod ends. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, and check for any significant pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road surface. Regarding the braking system, the history of thinning brake pads necessitates a thorough inspection of the front disc and caliper condition. Given the high mileage and the previous advisory, check for any signs of uneven pad wear or excessive pedal travel. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which could indicate warped discs, or any pulling to one side that might suggest a binding caliper. Ensuring the braking components have sufficient remaining life is critical given the heavy-duty nature of this vehicle's usage profile.
