2016 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · SF66 CUO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from minor mechanical wear to structural-related concerns. The most recent test in August 2023 at 65,542 miles identified corrosion on the rear nearside offside leaf spring. While the vehicle passed, the presence of rust on a suspension component suggests that age is beginning to affect hardware, marking a departure from the clean record seen in 2020. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between August 2020 at 42,751 miles and August 2021 at 53,325 miles, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of higher usage followed by more sedentary operation in the subsequent two years. This low overall mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, but can also lead to the degradation of rubber components through age rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear suspension system to ensure the corrosion noted in 2023 has not progressed to a structural failure. The 2022 failure regarding a severely deteriorated CV boot on the nearside front drive shaft indicates that rubber components are prone to cracking or tearing on this specific vehicle. Furthermore, the minor oil leak recorded in 2021 should be visually verified to ensure it has remained stable and not worsened into a significant leak as the vehicle reached its tenth year.
