2022 Citroen Relay 35 HVY L4H2 ENT Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · MM22 HMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 21, 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than way护理. The initial test at 80,557 miles resulted in a significant failure due to multiple critical mechanical and safety defects. While the immediate offside issues were rectified to secure a passing re-test, the density of failures across the suspension, drivetrain, and lighting suggests a trend where components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 80,557 miles over four years, this Citroen Relay has been utilized at an average of over 20,000 miles per annum. This high-intensity usage profile is consistent with long-distance commercial operation rather than light commuting. Such rapid mileage accumulation places considerable strain on heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension and drivetrain. The record shows no evidence of recent preventative maintenance, as evidenced by the state of the tyres and rubber components at the time of the June 2025 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The June 2025 failure identified deteriorated nearside track rod end ball joint covers and suspension arm ball joint dust covers, which are prone to moisture ingress and subsequent joint failure if not replaced. Furthermore, the offside front constant velocity boot was noted as severely deteriorated and leaking grease; this should be checked for oil spray on the inner artworkwork which would indicate the joint is already failing. The condition of the tyres remains a primary concern. The test record noted exposed cords on both the nearside and offside rear tyres, alongside a nearside front tyre at the 2mm limit. These are serious safety risks indicating the rubber has reached its end. Any prospective purchaser should also verify that the offside mirror is now secure and the headlamp alignment is correctly adjusted, as these were specific points of failure that indicate previous neglect or a lack of rigorous pre-test checks.
