2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · BX66 ATN

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 09 July 2026 at 150,897 miles, indicating it currently meets roadworthiness standards. However, the history reveals a pattern of mechanical wear related to high mileage. In the 2026 test at 150,853 miles, the tester flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. This follows a similar advisory from April 2023 at 139,938 miles where the offside shock absorber showed light misting of oil. While these issues did not result in immediate failure, the recurring nature suggests the front suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life due to the heavy annual usage. At 150,897 miles over ten years, this Citroen Relay has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with commercial vehicle use, which places significant strain on drivetrain components, brakes, and suspension bushings. The record shows a consistent interval of annual testing, suggesting the previous owners were proactive regarding legal compliance. The failure in May 2022 at 123,327 miles due to a non-working nearside position lamp and a damaged offside repeater represents a minor electrical maintenance issue that was rectified before the subsequent pass. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically checking the arms and bushes for play, as the record confirms ongoing degradation. The lack of reported structural corrosion or major brake failures in the history is a positive indicator, but the high mileage means that component-related leaks or drivetrain wear may be imminent. Given the most recent test occurred only three weeks ago, the vehicle is currently compliant, but the data highlights the inevitable wear and tear typical of a high-mileage work van.
