2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · S44 WDE

This Citroën Relay has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 18 March 2026 at 65,830 miles. The absence of any recurring issues or advisories suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance over its lifetime. The most recent test confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 4.5-month gap since the last MOT—while within the legal window—means some components may have reached their natural wear thresholds without recent verification. No evidence of major mechanical or structural failures is present in the record, but the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear on high-stress parts like suspension bushes or drivetrain components. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,300 miles annually without abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The most notable gap occurs between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where mileage jumped from 32,932 to 35,253 over an 11-month period, suggesting either a period of lower activity or an underreported reset. No test falls outside the standard 12-month interval, and the consistent mileage increments imply the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored for extended periods. This pattern reduces concerns about severe corrosion or dormant fluid degradation, though it does not guarantee the absence of neglect in less visible areas. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points in this model. The brakes—though never flagged—should be tested for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the lack of advisories does not confirm their current condition. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salty conditions. Fluid levels (brake, power steering, and coolant) should also be verified, as their last documented checks are over a year old. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not rule out gradual wear on items like timing belts or water pumps, which may require service records for confirmation.
