2011 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · PJ11 RLY

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that shows increasing mechanical degradation. While the van passed its most recent test in July 2022 at 169,007 miles, it exited with multiple advisories regarding an exhaust system leak, a corroded offside front coil spring, and worn front wishbone bushes. These issues indicate that while the vehicle remained legally roadworthy, the underlying suspension and exhaust components are reaching the end of their operational life and require immediate attention. The recorded mileage of 169,007 miles over 15 years averages to approximately 11,200 miles per annum, which is consistent with a light commercial vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant gap in the data, with the last recorded MOT occurring in July 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly four years without an official safety inspection. This long period of unmonitored use is high risk, especially considering the vehicle was already showing signs of structural corrosion and component wear during the final recorded tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the inner sills which showed signs of corrosion in 2021. The history reveals a recurring pattern of neglected braking and steering maintenance, evidenced by the 2019 failure for poor brake efficiency and twisted hoses, followed by pitted brake discs and steering rack play. The buyer should also verify the condition of the entire exhaust system and the suspension bushes to ensure that the previously noted corrosion on the coil spring has not progressed into structural failure since the 2022 advisory.
