1995 CITROEN RELAY2.4L Diesel

The 1995 Citroen Relay demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-27 assessment at 89,235 miles. The 2023-04-25 failure at the same mileage was noted without specific defects, suggesting a procedural or technical anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 confirm consistent compliance, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. No recurring faults or escalating issues are evident in the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,235 miles over 31 years equates to an average of 2,879 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage for its age. This suggests periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or component degradation if not regularly driven. The MOT history shows no gaps longer than 12 months, with tests spaced between 8–14 months apart, reflecting a consistent maintenance schedule. However, the absence of defects in all tests does not account for potential hidden issues arising from low mileage, such as dry-rotted seals or seized mechanisms. A buyer should inspect the chassis for rust, particularly in underbody panels and suspension mounting points, given the low usage pattern. The suspension system, including coil springs and bushes, warrants scrutiny for stiffness or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity can affect these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as infrequent use may lead to moisture buildup. While the MOT record shows no immediate concerns, the vehicle’s age and mileage profile necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity beyond documented tests.
