2009 Citroen Relay 3.0L Diesel · FW05 COD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 with 212,436 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in the short term following a period of inconsistency. While the vehicle failed tests in both 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects or advisories indicate that the previous owner addressed identified faults immediately to maintain a clean test record for the last two testing cycles. At 212,436 miles over 17 years, this Citroen Relay has covered an average of approximately 12,500 miles per year. The data reveals a significant drop in usage during recent years. Between April 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered only 333 miles, and between October 2024 and October 2025, it added just 397 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been sitting stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components to check for structural corrosion and perished bushes caused by long periods of inactivity. Given the high lifetime mileage followed by recent low use, the braking system should be tested for spotsting on discs and seized pistons. The record does not specify the exact mechanical reasons for the previous failures, but the rapid succession of failures followed by passes suggests that components were reaching their wear limit before being replaced.
