2011 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · BX61 AFY

The Citroen Relay passed its most recent MOT on 9 September 2025 at 248,601 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three years, with the September 2025 pass following a clean bill of health at the 2024 and 2023 tests. Two administrative failures were logged on 9 September 2025 and 22 August 2024 at identical mileage, but the tester recorded no defects either time, indicating paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The odometer has sat frozen at 248,601 miles across every test from 19 September 2023 through 9 September 2025. For a 2011 van averaging roughly 16,573 miles per year, this three-year standstill is abnormal and suggests the recorded figure may be a clerical default rather than true running total. The DVSA data gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or usage gaps beyond that static entry, so the buyer cannot verify actual wear from the record alone. Given the clean advisory list, no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion were flagged at any point. The absence of faults at high age and mileage is unusual for a Relay of this era, where subframe rust and worn steering joints commonly appear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis legs, suspension mounts, and brake calipers, since the MOT record offers no insight into components the tester did not record. The repeated no-defect failures without mechanical advisories imply previous keepers presented the van for test without addressing documentation, not that they neglected consumables. Verify the true mileage via service stamps or V5C before purchase, as the frozen reading undermines confidence in the stated 248,601 figure.
