2010 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · GN60 AOA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-04 confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded, though the preceding day’s retest also failed without any issues noted. This pattern of consecutive passes and fails—without substantive fault details—suggests either administrative oversights or minor, non-recurring issues that did not meet the threshold for a defect. The trend remains stable over the past year, with no evidence of worsening mechanical concerns, though the lack of specific advisories or defects means critical components may not have been thoroughly scrutinised. The final pass on 2025-12-04 was just five months ago, which is acceptable for a vehicle of this age, though the repeated retest raises questions about the thoroughness of the inspection process. The recorded mileage of 213,776 miles over 16 years equates to an average of approximately 13,360 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this vintage. The gap between tests in 2024—just 26 days between a fail and a pass—indicates either rapid mileage accumulation or a rushed retest without intervening maintenance. The 2023 to 2024 interval shows a jump from 210,162 to 211,941 miles in under three months, suggesting inconsistent usage patterns or potential mileage tampering. Without a full service history, it is impossible to confirm whether this pace has accelerated wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain synchronisers. Given the absence of specific defect details in the MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a detailed inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear suspension given the high mileage. Binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear were not flagged, but the lack of advisories means these should be checked for corrosion or excessive wear. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and subframes, is a common concern for this model age, and any rust penetration could compromise structural integrity. The engine bay and exhaust system should also be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are often overlooked in high-mileage vehicles. Given the repeated retests, verifying the accuracy of the mileage and confirming the absence of hidden mechanical issues—such as failing power steering components or degraded timing belt tensioners—will be essential.
