2013 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · MG13 NNB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 18 June 2026 with no defects recorded, which suggests a current state of roadworthiness. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears relatively stable, although there is a recurring pattern of wear affecting the front end drivetrain and suspension components. While the vehicle has avoided major failures in the last few years, the presence of repeated advisories and minor defects indicates a vehicle that is subject to typical commercial wear and tear rather than a regime of proactive preventative maintenance. There is currently insufficient mileage data available to accurately assess the vehicle usage rate against its age. For a 2013 model, the absence of recorded mileage makes it impossible to determine if the vehicle has been under-utilised or heavily worked. A prospective buyer must prioritise the verification of the odometer reading and cross-reference this with the service history to ensure that critical long-term maintenance, such as timing belt and water pump replacements, has been performed according to the manufacturer's intervals. Particular attention should be paid to the front drivetrain and steering geometry. The history shows repeated issues with the offside front constant velocity boot and a previous failure regarding the lower suspension arm bushes and ball joints. During a test drive, listen for rhythmic clicking sounds when turning the steering wheel to full lock, which would indicate a failed CV joint. Additionally, any clunking noises when traversing uneven surfaces or a vague feeling through the steering wheel may suggest that the suspension bushes or track rod ends are again nearing the end of their service life. The buyer should also conduct a thorough physical inspection for fluid leaks, as oil leaks were noted in multiple previous tests. Inspect the engine block and gearbox casing for fresh seepage or heavy grime buildup. Given the 2025 advisory regarding tyre wear on the edges, check the current tyre condition for uneven wear patterns, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components. Finally, as this is an older commercial vehicle, a detailed inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion is essential to ensure the long-term integrity of the vehicle.
