2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · AE68 EHV

The 2018 Citroen Relay presents a stable maintenance trend, though the most recent test occurred on 26 August 2025 at 61,645 miles, making the MOT certificate nearly ten and a half months old relative to today's date. That test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all required roadworthiness standards at that time. A failed test on 2 November 2022 at 43,536 miles stands out, though the record shows no specific defects listed for that failure. The subsequent pass just five days later on 7 November 2022 at the identical mileage suggests a swift rectification of whatever minor issue caused the initial failure, likely an aborted test or a rapidly resolved consumable fault. At eight years old with 61,645 miles recorded, the van averages roughly 7,706 miles annually, a figure typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression remains consistent and linear. Between the September 2024 test at 55,767 miles and the August 2025 test at 61,645 miles, the vehicle covered 5,878 miles over an eleven-month period. Earlier, from November 2022 to November 2023, it accumulated 6,065 miles. This steady accumulation points to regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high daily mileage that would accelerate wear on drivetrain components. Despite the absence of recorded defects or advisories in the MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential for a commercial van of this age. Buyers should closely examine the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor, checking for corrosion common in older vans. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for deterioration, as these components endure significant stress in a vehicle of this type. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and checked for binding, while tyre condition and age must be verified, as uneven wear could indicate underlying tracking or suspension geometry issues.
