2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · ND66 AAJ

The 2016 Citroën Relay’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-22 at 142,891 miles passed without defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The record shows no recurring failures or advisories over the past three tests, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern. However, the duplicate entry for 2023-12-16—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—indicates a potential administrative error rather than mechanical issues. The vehicle has remained within MOT compliance since 2022, but the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear from the high mileage accumulation. The recorded mileage of 142,891 miles over nine years equates to approximately 14,289 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests varies, with the longest interval of 11 months between 2022-08-20 and 2023-08-20 (though no test occurred in August 2023). The rapid mileage increase—from 120,695 miles in May 2022 to 135,653 miles by December 2023—implies consistent use, which may have accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. The absence of advisories or defects in recent tests does not negate the need for scrutiny of these high-wear areas. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the mileage. Binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear could also emerge, despite no prior MOT failures. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts should be checked, as prolonged exposure to road salt or moisture may compromise structural integrity. The engine bay and exhaust system warrant attention for leaks or excessive rust, especially if the vehicle has been driven in northern or coastal regions. While the MOT history suggests no immediate red flags, the high mileage demands thorough verification of these critical components.
