2019 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · SY68 WEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 102,674 miles showed a pass with advisories for an offside front lower ball joint with slight play and wear on multiple tyres. While the vehicle passed, the transition from a failure in 2023 to minor advisories in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach the threshold of legal failure. At 102,674 miles, this seven-year-old Citroen has clocked an average of approximately 14,600 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with heavy commercial use, which places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in a single year, a period that coincided with its most significant mechanical failures to date. The rapid accumulation of mileage on a heavy-duty van explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and braking hardware noted in the records. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the track rod ends and lower ball joints, as these were flagged for excessive play in 2023 and remain a concern as of 2025. The recurring history of non-excessive oil leaks noted in both 2023 and 2024 warrants a close engine inspection to determine if the leak is stable or indicating a gasket failure. Furthermore, the braking system requires attention; the 2025 advisory regarding pitted and worn rear brake discs, combined with previous issues with a restricted front enough cable, indicates that the braking components are nearing the end of their effective lifespan.
