2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · WJ64 FHS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 113,392 miles shows a pass following a failure just eight days prior. This failure identified serious fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers and excessive wear on the nearside front suspension arm. While the vehicle passed the re-test, the recurring nature of suspension and tyre issues suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of failing an MOT test. At 113,392 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,450 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial use for a van of this age. There is a significant gap of 15,388 miles recorded between May 2024 and September 2025, indicating a period of heavy usage. This interval correlates with the rapid degradation of the front-end components, such as the sudden failure of the shock absorbers and the accelerated wear on the suspension bushes, suggesting that while the annual mileage is normal, the front-end components are being pushed to their limits. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with worn bushes and thin brake pads across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates a pattern of neglecting consumable components. The oil leak noted in May 2024 should also be monitored to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant engine seal failure. Given the history of tyres hitting legal limits and shock absorbers failing, the current tyres should be checked for uneven wear, which would indicate lingering alignment issues stemming from the suspension repairs.
