2022 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · OO57 EAM

High annual mileage and a recent advisory regarding tyre wear define the current mechanical profile of this Citroen Relay, which passed its latest MOT on 27 May 2026. The record shows a single advisory for a nearside rear tyre that is worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edges. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status, the presence of edge wear on the tyre suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that may require professional attention to prevent premature degradation of replacement rubber. The vehicle has covered 53,819 miles in approximately four years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 13,455 miles. For a commercial vehicle of this type, this usage pattern indicates consistent operation rather than long periods of stationary use. This level of mileage typically results in accelerated wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, as well as increased thermal cycling for the engine and drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should account for the fact that high-use commercial vehicles often reach service intervals for major components more rapidly than domestic passenger cars. During a test drive, specific attention should be paid to the rear axle and suspension assembly to investigate the cause of the uneven tyre wear noted in the May 2026 test. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the rear when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate worn shock absorbers or deteriorated suspension bushings. Furthermore, check for any steering pull or instability when driving in a straight line on a level surface, as this may confirm that the nearside rear tyre wear is linked to a tracking or camber issue. The braking system and tyre condition should also be closely monitored. Given the advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre, inspect the surrounding wheel arch and suspension linkages for any signs of impact damage or excessive play. While the MOT record does not currently flag brake component failures, the high mileage profile necessitates a thorough check of the brake discs for scoring or thinning and an assessment of the pedal feel to ensure there is no sponginess or pulsation that might indicate binding calipers or worn components.
