2011 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · SM60 OVX

The Citroen Relay holds a valid test certificate issued on the second of March 2022 at 248,601 miles, though the vehicle has now been off the valid test register for nearly four and a half years as of August 2026. This prolonged lapse in the statutory testing record represents a critical risk factor for prospective buyers, as the current mechanical and structural condition remains completely unverified by the DVSA. The vehicle has accumulated 248,601 miles over its fifteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 16,573 miles annually, which confirms intensive commercial deployment. The official record provided is extremely sparse, consisting of only two entries logged on the exact same day in March 2022. This lack of historical data prevents any meaningful assessment of long-term maintenance trends, component replacement cycles, or past structural corrosion remediation. The single failure recorded on the second of March 2022 involved a rough offside rear wheel bearing, which was subsequently rectified before the same-day pass was issued. Commercial large vans operating at high mileage subject their chassis, suspension bushes, leaf springs, and braking systems to severe loads, making thorough physical scrutiny essential. Any inspection must prioritise checking the structural integrity of the chassis members, sills, and floor pan for rust, alongside assessing the steering joints, drive shafts, and commercial braking components for advanced wear.
