2015 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · ND64 BPY

The Citroen Relay presents a generally stable and encouraging MOT history, culminating in a clear pass on the twenty first of April twenty twenty six with zero defects recorded. Looking back at the preceding test records, the vehicle secured clean passes in twenty twenty five and twenty twenty three, whilst the twenty twenty four and twenty twenty two tests yielded only minor advisories. This pattern indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent maintenance rather than suffering from chronic structural decay or recurring mechanical failures, showing a healthy operational trajectory that should instil confidence in a prospective buyer regarding its fundamental roadworthiness. With an odometer reading of one hundred and four thousand four hundred and one miles at roughly eleven years of age, the Relay has averaged approximately nine thousand four hundred and ninety miles per year. This annual mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a commercial utility vehicle of this vintage, suggesting steady, working use rather than excessive long distance punishing or prolonged periods of stagnant storage. Such usage generally keeps drivetrain components, diesel particulate filters, and alternators operating within their intended parameters, though buyers should still expect standard wear consistent with a hard working chassis that has spent over a decade on UK roads. Despite the recent clean MOT sheets, the historical advisory record highlights a few key areas that require close physical inspection during your viewing. The twenty twenty four test noted that the rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, which is a common occurrence on large vans where the rear brakes do not always work as hard as the front, leading to surface corrosion and accelerated friction face degradation. During your test drive, listen for any grinding or scraping noises from the rear axle, and check for a pulsating brake pedal or a distinct shudder when decelerating from higher speeds, which would indicate warped or heavily scored discs requiring immediate replacement. Furthermore, the twenty twenty two test highlighted a worn offside front lower suspension arm rear bush, a component that will inevitably progress toward excessive play if it has not already been addressed. Worn suspension bushes can cause vague steering responses, wandering under braking, and a distinct knocking or clunking noise when traversing potholes or speed humps. When examining the front end, check the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the nearside front tyre was also previously flagged for edge wear, which can point toward underlying geometry misalignment or tired suspension joints. Finally, verify the service history stamps to ensure that engine oil, fuel filters, and timing maintenance have kept pace with the mileage, as commercial engines rely heavily on meticulous fluid hygiene to prevent costly premature wear.
