2008 CITROEN RELAY2.2L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-06-10 at 104,004 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2025-06-09 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. The 2024 and 2023 tests at 92,886 and 84,735 miles, respectively, both passed with no defects. Overall, the maintenance trend shows no recurring mechanical issues, but the lack of recent MOT data—last test over 12 months prior to 2026-07-20—raises concerns about compliance and ongoing roadworthiness. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 104,004 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 5,778 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, corrosion, and fluid degradation. The MOT history reveals no major defects, but the absence of data between 2023 and 2025—spanning 22 months—limits insight into maintenance consistency. The 2025 tests at identical mileage suggest possible duplication or errors in records, warranting closer scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly in the chassis and suspension components, given the low mileage and potential storage periods. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low usage can lead to seized parts. Suspension bushes and coil springs may also require assessment for stiffness or damage. Additionally, the exhaust system and emission controls should be verified, as prolonged inactivity can affect these components. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee mechanical soundness, and physical inspection remains critical.
